i used repsol fork oil 10W.. the service manual says to put 64ml each fork. i did 70ml each to make it more stiffer. still toink sound when hitting bumps!

Will try 80ml...

 

[projectdimpreza]

Will try 80ml...

i dont think thats a gud idea.. ive tried 70ml each fork and its kinda hard and stiff ill try to stick with the standard 64ml or maybe 65ml. and i think adding more oil will abuse the oil seals. IMHO

i just used Screw driver to tight the nut using hammer. but RECOMENDED TOOL to used is RING NUT WRENCHT. especial tool to loose and tight the nut on steering wheel.

be careful for tighting the nut using screwdriver and hammer. i advise use steering nut wrench or go to a mechanic to do it for you. first. try to add fork oil as recommended by other. if the anoying sound still persist. try my suggestion... ride safe.
