Re: 2TK fork oil
To stiffen up the front end a little, change the oil and replace with 15wt to a level of 100mm (no springs in when measuring). If still not stiff enough, reduce to 90mm.
Standard oil is 10w.

Re: 2TK fork oil
Cheers, put 15wt oil in to 100mm, seemed to stiffen things up a bit.
Unfortunately one of the fork tops was completely seized up and it got very chewed up by the time I'd got it out. £50 for a new one and a month to wait for delivery. Ouch!!
