Re: front fork oil
Hi Monty, I have just had fun and games finding SAE 20 fork oil for my G80CS. Plenty of SAE 5,10 and 15 around but 20 was hard to find. Got some Fuchs Silkolene SAE 20 ordered in. SAE 30 fork oil does exist (Fuchs,Westway etc) but I suspect standard straight 30 would work at a push albeit be a bit heavy. Think my forks must have had SAE 50 in looking at what came out although it had been in there probably over 50 years?!

Thanks all you were a great help.

Re: front fork oil
I've mixed equal quantities of 10 and 30 to get 20 grade.
