Well all I wanted to know was what oil to put into the forks to give me a slightly stiffer ride than I had previously. Now that I am aware that you can't tell anything about an oil by the label and that the viscosity I require can change depending on the valves in the forks, I haven't a clue...

Which one? What are the differences? https://www.amazon.com/Maxima-Racing-Fork-Fluid-59901-7/dp/B0022ZUSNA https://www.amazon.com/Maxima-58901M-Medium-Formula-Racing/dp/B000WPYTUU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1JB05KKC52754ZSYX2AN

And what do the numbers mean beside some oil ex., Maxima 125/150?

As an aside, do I need to buy dust seals or bushings or anything to change the fork oil?

Ok, so now I'm confused when before I was just...ignorant. I typically ride my FJR near load limits what with my size and gear. I finally had the forks done at GP and noticed a great improvement but, after 10,000 miles or so, they are feeling a little like they need some servicing. I have no...

By the way, where is everyone staying? I haven't booked a room yet but am planning on coming \Friday night and leaving Sunday morning. May as well be social.

I'm really looking forward to seeing work on forks done. Other than oil for my forks, is there anything I can bring? Tools, cards, smoked salmon, Canadian beer?

Is there anyone still debating about going and hasn't booked a room but would like to split one of these apartments? I MAY not arrive until Friday night and will be leaving Sunday afternoon. I haven't even called to see if there are apartments even available but if there is interest in a 2 or 3...

Yes, I think you're probably spot-on with my senses being fooled. The XLR is easier to toss around though and I have no fear of laying it down like I do with the FJ. I'm really happy with this toy - and truly that's what it feels like. You buy a boat, big screen TV or shiny new FJR (black of...

The only regret you may have is not doing it sooner!

Okay, well not faster but more agile through the twisties? Last week I went out and dropped my tax refunds for then next 10 years on a new dual-sport. I had been playing with the idea for over a year now since there are just SO many trails to explore here on Vancouver island - trails that you...

Saw this some time ago. May be new for some. I can't even do this on my FJ... https://www.facebook.com/viralthread/videos/707489519423734/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED

I am definitely in this time! I’d really like to see someone else do a TBS on my bike (as I am never satisfied with my results) and, I’d like to have my front fork oil changed and rear shock adjusted properly. Last year I had a GP rebuild the forks with the 20mm kit and I had a Penske shock...

I find myself asking "what was the camera doing there?" for the FJR video.

No riders were hurt during the making of this video . Okay, maybe one. We can all learn something from their mistakes . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEDOfnR-vkk

since writing that, i've never noticed it again . Maybe it's a break-in period for our nosee.

Well, even he has his limits. https://www.viralthread.com/biker-gets-revenge-rude-driver-drops-wallet/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=vt

I'm really bummed but weather is too iffy for an 8 hr hike each way. Guess I'll have to wait for the spring.

Jer! I'm headed to Sacramento on the 23rd! Why not wait a day?
