Mcdroid Topic Author Away User Gone Kwackers Posts: 6570 Thank you received: 303	I have the shocks...the rebuild kit...and the instructions, but in the instructions it does not mention what weight oil to use in the shocks. Anyone know? Michael Alvin, Texas 1982 GPz750 1977 KZ1000A 1978 KZ1000A 1982 GPz1100 1975 Z2A

Charlie on a couple of the 650 sites has rebuilt a few of those shocks.
I will ask him.

I am a member - but don't come on here lots

I used Motorex fully synthetic 10w in my Strada rebuilds.They are much better now with 10w in there. The original Strada's were too hard and like an on/off switch but with 10W in - they work properly.

I also used Nitrogen in the air bladder too, I dunno that gives any benefits mind - but I had access to a Nitrogen tank and so took advantage

If you can't get hold of Motorex, try and score Motul - they are both fully synth suspension oils and better than most of the competition. Between them, they fill most of the premium suspension company's products
