Product Description

The Maxima Fork Oils are formulated using the best quality base oils and advanced additives to prevent foaming, seal hardening, oxidation, and "stiction."

As a result, Lubricinol provides very low friction for sliding and prevents internal components from wearing

Having a temperature stable viscosity ensures a constant fork action and constant wheel compaction on rough terrain

The standard suspension system and the cartridge system are both suitable

Oil in the 5wt or 10wt weight range is normal for MX applications, and can be adapted to accommodate intermediate viscosity

Questions & Answers

Do you know if this will work with hydraulic slide out systems for RVs?

Slides should be coated with a specific oil. The hydraulic system uses this for leveling the legs of the system

Can you tell me what the difference is between this and the zero drag I am in the market for a new front fork for my MTB. ?

I have no idea. My RV has a hydraulic leveling system, which I use on my 5th wheel. Using this stuff prevents the popping that occurs as a result of

Is there a certain amount of bottles that I need to get for a front-end maintenance on an R6?

You should be able to service your fork a few times with this amount. With a travel of 150mm and stanchions of 32mm, I use it for my mountain bike. In which only 5ml are used for each One bottle is enough for me for a very long time whereas motorcycle forks require a lot more fluid. When it comes to Harleys, I use something a bit lighter, but if I remember correctly my oil was between 5 and 7 weights The amount of weight per leg on a showa fork with 42mm stanchions is 7 oz. If you need more, you can check your service manual or look online. For a 1 bottle system, it should be sufficient. Additionally, make sure the fork is 15w so it will not be too heavy as too heavy forks make the forks very stiff. Probably around a 7 is what I use for my Harley type E. Weighing 5 lbs. With its plush texture and responsiveness, it's not too soft or too hard.

Do you know if it will work in a KLX110?

KLX110? I do not know what that is. My motorhome had hydraulic jacks that I used this product to repair. James H.

Fork oil that everyone has been raving about is as good as it appears

5/5

The weight went from 10 to 15 I found that it significantly improved my performance. It is much smoother when I rebound after hitting a pothole, and I have much better control. It's great to have the extra performance with this 15 weight oil, as I am a bigger guy. In total, I rebuilt my forks, which is not something I would want to do as I was glad I put it off (lol) and after I finished, I was glad I did. There has been a big improvement.

My mountain bike fork service went smoothly with this oil

5/5

I was able to use it to service the lower leg forks on my mountain bike at a much lower price than going for the bike-branded I can do the same thing for much less money and it costs If you use a fork, make sure you check its specs for its weight and amount used. You should also do a bit of self research to make sure this option is right for you (forums, etc). Furthermore, I also purchased some inexpensive multipacks of Surrenges, which helped the situation It would be best if you could find them with rubber hose ends.

It is recommended

5/5

It was recommended that we use this brand in our RV's hydraulic system. It seems to be doing what LCI said it would do so far.

I found this to be very helpful! I have only used fork oil for the first time and have no comparison since this is my first time applying fork oil

5/5

The cheapest 15w fork oil on Amazon was this one. I installed progressive springs in my KLR 650 and this was the cheap 15w oil. The bike seems to be working fine since I replaced the springs and oil. I have only done about 50 miles on the bike since it was rebuilt, but I can tell you it is way better than when it was brand new. Considering my weight of 265 and that I wanted a bit more weight than the factory offered 10w oil, I went with the 15w.

Jacks for RVs powered by hydraulics

4/5

In a RV forum, I read it was because the fluid in my Jacks was viscous or thin that it made noise (creeping and cracking) when I moved around in my RV. It is recommended to change the fluid for "fork oil". I only heard about this a few days ago, but I had never tried it, and it worked! You no longer need to worry about RV jacks being noisy.

Investing in fork springs is necessary when upgrading a fork

5/5

With the new progressive springs on my 92' Nighthawk 750, I had to use a heavier weight oil to increase dampening in combination It seems to be a very high-quality fork oil, and it did its job effectively. As this oil is clear, it is easy to see how dirty it is. It is also formulated specially for forks and is said to have additives that help it to stay clear. The oil I used previously was ATF, which is a 10W oil. However, I feel better about having an oil that's specifically designed for fork usage, even though I doubt there will be.

I needed this just the right way

5/5

A leveling system for my RV was purchased from this vendor. When it squeals, Lippert recommends that you use his fork oil. It's slipperier than traditional ATF, so it makes a gurgling noise from time to time.

Once again, I created a fork plush! Last night I had the fork serviced on my bike and it now seems smooth and plush with the new oil

4/5

I am looking forward to taking it on the trails, to see how it performs. Due to reviews on other forums, I decided to purchase this product over the branded fork oil from SRAM or Rockshox. I have read that the stuff in this is the same! I chose this because it was cheaper than the other option! Look at these two bottles and compare them.
The bottle is the same shape and has the same "M" logo, but with a different label and a lower price. If you service your own forks, get this brand over rock shock's if you want to save a few bucks.
