Putoline Light Fork front fork oil 500 ml

Putoline Light Fork determines how your front fork damps. Content 500 ml.

What fork oil does

Your front fork springs on the springs, but the damping comes from the oil that is pressed through small passages. The thickness of that oil determines how quickly the fork compresses and rebounds. Fresh oil provides noticeably calmer handling than oil that has been in there 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 during hard braking or with a heavily loaded motorcycle.
• Fill both fork legs with exactly the same oil and the same amount. You will immediately feel the difference between left and right in the handling.

Filling and checking the level

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.
