Can one of you lube experts give me a hand?
I'm almost positive that my fork is needing its cartridge to be serviced or at least have its fluid changed. The thing is, around here it seems to be hard to find a place that is willing to actually order the Fox suspension fluid without trying to rape me at the same time.
I change the seals and the lower leg oil all the time, so I am fairly comfortable with opening this thing up. I just have no clue what type of fluid to buy. I went to a powersports store and found some Torco RFF 10 fluid that says "5.70cSt 260vi" on the bottle and it is a transparent and almost colourless fluid. It smells pretty decent too, but I have no comment on the taste.
Would that be okay to put inside the cartridge? The store also had Bel-Ray 10wt fork oil in stock.
All I'm looking for is a replacement fluid that will act the same as the Fox Red 10wt, that I can easily find locally.
Thanks!
