What oil in my shock?
« on: November 11, 2011, 08:36:26 pm »
What oil does the bike shop put in my Ohlins single shock.
1985 piggyback out of a Husqvarna.
Want to have a go at a rebuild for a bit of fun and education.
Cheers Mike

Motul make shock oil and fork oil, the shock oil is the better of the two. There are several good shock oils available, we currently use Motorex SD-1 at work.
