Subject: front fork oil



Hi all,

I want to introduce another 'oil discussion' : my RD07 has 27.000 km and
the frontfork is starting to feel soft and weak, which does affect in
first instance the braking, not as much the handling or stability in
curves. The frontfork oil has never been changed up till now.
Can anyone advice on the type of oil (brand name, xWxx) for 99% on road
usage and a sportry riding style?

Another question is about the oil temperature meters that were discussed
some weeks ago. I consider this to be a valuable instrument but have my
doubts on the accuracy of most meters. Are there @-owners that can give
more details on their meters?

Regards,

ludo
