Re: [St] Fork oil question....



what, no takers?

this thread has it all -tyres, oil....

Cant ask me about either - I've only used the BT 010, 015 and 014. All of
them suck for mielage, and the 010 had a problem with the front cupping, but
I was doing a lot of track days then....

Me, I want to know who rates the Pilot Roads.........

cheers
