Where can I get fork oil? (15wt, south shore)

    Where can I get fork oil? (15wt, south shore)

    Living in Quincy,

    Checked 2 advanced autos, and 2 autozones with no luck. I really would hate to buy it online, because of s/h. It's for my damper. Haven't checked weymouth honda yet.

    Also, anyone know anywhere/one who can change the oil in the fork tubes? That project is next on the list.

    The questions that you ask make you a candidate to read "Sportbike Suspension Tuning" by Andrew Trevitt

    GMD Computrack can do the fork's. Peter is a member on here and located down near Wrentham Village. Not sure on the fork oil, but have you tried the local bike dealers?

    I always thought you could combine 10w and 20w.

    I've heard that too, on my way home from work I could only stop by at those general autozone type places. By the weekend I should be able to stop by weymouth Honda and see. They're usually over priced, which means it would be cheaper for me to order it. Oh well.

    We're in Watertown and we carry 15 weight if you'r ever nearby.
    Also PK at GMD has the 15 weight you need.

    What brand 15w is your damper calling for? Brand X's 15w is usually different from Brand Y's 15w, thanks to there being no real good standard out there. PK can give you the full details as well as suggesting both a brand and weight I bet. Just about any motorcycle shop will have suspension oil on the shelves.

    And yes, you can play "mix n' match" to make intermediate weights by using a certain amount of weight X plus weight Y, but again, you have to be careful if doing with differing brands as you'll likely end up with something different than what you were expecting.

    I'm not planning to make my own 15wt fork oil, I'm probably going to go with belray or maxima, whichever the place my have as long as it's 15wt. I'm sort of too scared to go with 20wt in my steering damper. It'll be a real pain to move it around at slow speeds (like backing up in my driveway).

    Thank you (everyone) for all your input.
