Fork oil is responsible for ensuring that your motorcycle's suspension properly cushions the bumps and unevenness that occur while riding. The fork of a motorcycle is a hydraulic system that connects the front wheel with the handlebar and the frame of the motorcycle through clamps and incorporates the suspension and the front brake. For this reason, the parts and components that make up the fork of a motorcycle must be well greased. Buy quality fork oil so that the performance of your motorcycle's suspension is adequate for longer.

What fork oil should you buy? 10W fork oil? 15W fork oil? To find out which fork oil your motorcycle uses, you must take as a reference the oil indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. The most recommended is that the motorcycle fork oil is synthetic based and of a viscosity with which it does not lose properties with high temperatures. Depending on the type of fork, an oil with a certain degree of density is used.

The SAE range refers to a range of viscosities in which the exact viscosity of an oil can be contained. Each manufacturer places its oils in the range where it considers most suitable with the forks that mount their motorcycles. Before buying fork oil for your motorcycle's suspension, you should take into account the following factors:

The type of motorcycle and the riding style will require one type of oil or another. A scooter does not mount the same suspension as a motorcycle to practice off road, nor does a sport motorcycle. The requirement of the oil for the forks will depend on the use you make of it on the road
The viscosity index indicates the ability of the oil to withstand high temperatures. The higher the number, the more stable the viscosity is at higher temperatures. The viscosity provides greater or lesser damping hardness depending also on the needs of the motorcycle

Motorcycle manufacturers recommend changing motorcycle fork oil every two years, and even earlier if the level of demand on the suspension is very high, for example, if you practice motocross or enduro. The heat caused by the friction of the spring causes the oil to degrade over time. Then, the oil loses viscosity and the behavior of the bike begins to worsen.
