keith-
well, these forks are so funky that you can use any oil. i use belray 30
wt., cause i had some [think it's 20 years old, come to think of it. you can
use 80-90, too., cause there ain't no dampening, at all. they shouldn't
stick, tho. maybe you have a broken/collapsed spring?

What is the general consesus of the group as far as the front forks go,
have y'all changed the springs or just use whats in there OEM? Think
there was some talk awhile back about fork oil, think someone mentioned
they use tranny oil? What weight fork oil should I use? Appreciate any
feedback, will be flushing out the forks this weekend. They seem to
stick a bit when moving it around the garage, when brake is applied they
dive a bit and stay there. Mechanic and I plan to finish her up Sunday,
try to finally fix that return spring that keeps popping out of place,
flush out the forks, and make a key for the fork lock- he claims to be a
master at making keys and says there is no need to remove the cylinder
or drill it out.
