Front forks

#1 PostAuthor: Kanderson » Mon Oct 13, 2025 6:34 pm

Hi got my first z1000 at last. Got air valves on front forks and was wondering what fork oil to use and how much and also best way to check air pressure and what pump to use. I think it is supposed to be about 4 to 8 psi. Cheers for any info
