bilks Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I would stick to the 126cc 10/30, atf would be far too thin a oil for your forks,more so with your weight.i had no problems with the standard set up on my ty 175,and i'm nearly 16 stone.But my ty long gone,wish i had it back sometimes,lol Edited May 30, 2013 by bilks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthmover Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I use 130ml of 10's weight fork oil in each leg. The action is a reasonable compromise at that, I'm 12 stone and can bottom them out fairly easily. I have added a 10mm spacer under the fork cap, using the best springs I had (from a selection of three sets) I'm toying with the idea of some new springs, and maybe making up some 12.5 weight oil to slow it down just a tad.
