Have you read my bit about fork oil viscosity variances for the same weight number Sas? You'd think 10 W would be the same regardless of manufacturer, but it's not, far from it.
I find simple ATF to work fantastic for most people.
I have and you are right. That is why as a tuner we stick with one brand and set up our valving specs on that brand of fluid. Quite frankly, for forks on our Tiggers, I find simple ATF to work fantastic for most people. I run it myself.I wish there was more consistency within the industry.
Almost every set of forks I take apart has had different fork oil levels in them right from the factory. One would think with automated assembly it would be consistent, but it is not. Another thing that baffles me is that every manufacturer is installing suspension springs that are far too soft for real riders. Simply doing nothing else but servicing your forks and installing proper rate springs so radically improves the ride of the bike that it blows me away that the factories have it so wrong.
