i think you guys were the last country in the industrialised world to not have public health cover. although your taxes will rise to cover it, you will have one less lot of insurance bills to worry about.

correct and fair enough. i used to do the same thing. i just find thinner 5wht oil has given me better results. i used to stick to the thick stuff but the local suspension pro got me onto the maxima 5wht. he is a qualified ohlins suspension specialist and does most of the road/dirt race suspension i...

I dont personally think changing the oil weight is a good idea. Thats what valving is for. Keep the brand and weight of the oil the same and revalve them till you are happy. I personally like Maxima and have been running it for a while (3 oil changes this year). If you are racing and need the ultim...

ive had real good results with quality 5 wht oil. i think the recommended is 7 or 10wht.

if your forks are feeling soft then use the thicker 7 or 10 wht.
if your forks have a lot of push or are harsh, try a 5 wht.
