Hey folks, new to this forum but would like to know what grade fork oil you've been using in your Busa's? Need to change mine and the service manual is a bit vague. Cheers for any advice.

Welcome to the Org....
Some Oil Choices; but most don't use the 10W instead they opt for 5W
Suzuki L01 fork oil is the spec I believe.
Options
1) Bel-Ray HVI Racing suspension oil 5W
2) Spectro 125/150 cartridge fork oil.
Have also heard of folks using synthetic automatic transmission fluid (not sure on this one though...)

Here's the step by step as provided by a fellow Org member

Cheers KS. 5 weight it'll be then.

I prefer a 10W just to slow the front end down a bit.....allows it to be a little stiffer without replacing springs.

it's just the feel I prefer.
