The place to come to share your technical expertise, or just find out what the little springy thing is that's just pinged out of sight under the work-bench.

Rebuild / Oils etc

Post by Kiwi34 »

FZR1000EXUP 1990

Ok, so i have my frame back after a few things were being seen to ( pictures to follow soon) and I am now starting the process of bolting the 'small things' things like the engine , forks, shock etc back on and have started to think about future lubrication..

For myself i have red wine, various ciders and of course some Jack Daniels for those celebration moments of mechanical victory ( usually after every time i manage to get a stuck stripped bolt out!!!)

However after looking at Opies Oils website i was wondering what oil recommendations people on this lovely site have preference to i.e fully synthetic , semi, 10W/40 20W/40 etc.

I've always run Motul in my bikes but not sure of other brands ( or even the preferred ranged from Motul anymore)

Going to need every thing from fork seal and break fluid and coolant etc
on a standard '90 EXUP does everyone just use the standard dot 4 brake fluid and 10W fork oil?

Cheers
Scott
