There’s a few threads on here regarding SB6 forks but none really talk much about oil viscosity. I would say 10w would be ok. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Assuming they've not had any mods, SAE 10 with a 180mm air gap. With full strip and clean, this requires 485cc of oil per leg. _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

To fully strip them you'll need new bushes. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Are those available any more?
What about seals?
Need special tools? |

PDQ did my folks and seemed to be able to get the bushes they said they were mainly Showa inside. Maybe asked them.
Theres a special tool, probably to reach the bolt at the bottom _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
