As always, please excuse my english.

The question is, wich type of fluid the front suspention uses? W10 or W15?. And how much of it?

Couse im remplacing the Seal dust or Dust Seal (that thing on the top of the barrels) and the thing of the inside that y can't remember the name in english ejeje.

That's all thanks for the help¡.

This makes me smile!   :)

Anyway, either 10 or 15 weight oil will work.  Don't go over 15 weight.  If you are under 200lbs I would go with 10 weight.

Fill the forks so the oil is 150-125mm below the top of the tube, make sure the springs are out and the tubes are fully compressed. It's a good idea to stroke the tubes in and out several times to make sure the oil is fully distributed thru both sides before measuring.
