I need to replace my fork seals and polish the tube it has nicks. The suspension was revalved by rg3 and they used 5wt torco. all I can find locally is the honda 5wt fluid. Is this going to be a problem? I know not all oils are the same even if they are rated the same. Any help would be appreciated .Thanks

Well I rode my bike in Ocotillo wells this weekend. I would say that the Honda fork fluid has the same feel as the RG3 stuff.

JT,
Im about to redo the front fork seals on my 04 250x. Any tricks? How did you polish out the nicks?

[jt1872001]

I polished out the knicks with crokus cloth. My neighbor said that ross at enzo uses a stone?
As far as tricks. I just watched the youtube video from another site.com

well,
I just finished my first front suspension job, replaced the oil seals and dust seals. I put in 12oz. plus the oil in the fork rod of 7 wt maxima fork oil. This has to be the messiest job I had ever done. There was fork oil all over the place. I was able to polish out a nick and it seems to be doing OK. If anyone is planning on doing this, its not that bad but it is nice to have the seal seating tool. It is nice to have the youtube video as reference.

The Honda fork fluid in the black bottle that is pinkish in color is the same as the Torco RFF.
