Hi to all.

Does anyone know the factory standard for Tiger 2005, fork oil?
I need oil vicosity AND quantity.

I feel something wrong in front.
It usually jumps at bumps at low speeds although at highway speeds, feels ok.

Michael.

I have Hagon springs fitted, but just changed the oil from 10W to 15W with 140mm air gap. Bike tracks beautifully and holds a line without running wide.

140mm air gap is 650ml of oil.
