Got new heavier springs. Dave at Traxxion suggested going with a heavier fork oil. Sounds good till you look in the service manual to see what weight stock fork oil is. The specified oil is HD Fork Oil Type E. Anyone know what weight Type E is? |

I put 15w klotz synthetic oil in mine and it seems slightly thicker than the factory oil. It made the settings a little firmer. |
