Putoline HPX R 2.5W Fork Oil 1 litre

Putoline HPX R controls the damping of your front fork. Volume 1 liter.

At 2.5W, you are in the light part of the range. The fork moves faster and feels more comfortable.

What fork oil does

Your front fork springs on the springs, but the damping comes from the oil being forced through small passages. The thickness of that oil determines how quickly the fork compresses and rebounds. Fresh oil provides noticeably calmer road handling than oil that has been in for years.

Thicker or thinner

• A lighter oil allows the fork to move faster and feels more comfortable.
• A heavier oil slows down the movement and provides more support when braking hard or when the motorcycle is heavily loaded.
• Fill both fork legs with exactly the same oil and the same quantity. You will immediately feel the difference between left and right in the steering behavior.

Filling and leveling

The oil level in a fork is measured from the top of the fork tube, with the spring removed and the fork fully compressed. This measurement is in your workshop manual and is more accurate than measuring by volume. A few millimeters difference in level noticeably changes the damping at the end of the stroke.
