On my 71 BRE 510, the "Lifetime" warranty Koni Shocks failed a few years back.
Koni of America said those were from Holland or some crap like that.
Anyway, I found some stock 510 Struts and dropped in the 400cc [or whatever] amount of 80/90 Gear Dope.
Oddly enough, there was minimal difference, at slow speeds it was certainly rougher, but about 35+mpg it got normal, back to the factory .89g skidpad{or so it felt anyway}
A pal at a Kawasaki Dealer, says the Moto-X racers swap oil viscosity at minuscule viscosity increments to gain advantage.
Anyone else swap out from stock SAE 5w Hydraulic Oil ?
Or am I still in the 70's, and you all use unobtanium Oil today ?
