fork oil change

[wardy]

hi guys sorry if i,ve missed this somewhere i have search for it however i,am about to fit wibers progressive fork spring to my 1999 885i and iam wondering which is the best fork to go with thanks in advance tangerine tiger

Wilbers recommend 10wt, which I think is the same weight as stock, many go with 15wt which can be a bit hard when the forks and weather is cold but once warmed up makes the front alot more controllable, Wilbers state a 130mm air gap on yours by the way(With their springs).

In the UK the weather is always cold isn't it?   

You will need 2 bottles anyway, so you could even mix them and make it an SAE 12.5.
Air chamber indeed 130 mm, this is with fork compressed and spring out

We have our own equivalent on the fens http://www.pidleymountainrescue.org.uk/

The fens were drained by Dutch engineers hence villages with names like Nordelph
