Originally Posted By: boraticus I've been using it on dirt bike and ATV oil foam filters for decades. It works and works well. I owned some machines for well over twenty years and have an old Suzuki two stroke race bike that's over 30 years old. Never had an engine problem and those machines...

Originally Posted By: boraticus Chainsaw bar oil is inexpensive and it sticks like gorilla snot. Don't worry. It will NOT run out. Get the summer version. It's much thicker than winter formula. One quart/liter will last a very long time. It's as effective as anything out there costing quite a...

Originally Posted By: tmorris1 Nowhere near as tacky as filter oil though. I bet it will run out of the filter. So you have tried this? I have tried this on the outside of my uni filter and you tap the filter with your hand and its real stringy. I'm just paranoid.

Anyone ever use Bar and chain oil on their filter? It seems very tacky. I wonder how much tackifier in Air filter oil versus Bar and chain oil. yam711

The application is a telescopic fork with 2 chambers. The shock has a nitrogen resevior that keeps the oil under pressure. I have a metal container with an inlet and outlet. The outlet has a needle valve. The inlet in piped up to a vacuum pump. I put fluid in the container and pull vacuum for a...

I did some degassing the other day. I'm trying to degass fork oil/hydaulic fluid in a small oil tank and pull vacuum with a pump. I saw some fizz at the top of the oil. So I think its working. Does anybody have any data on the benefits of degassed fluid versus non-degassed fluid. I read...

What are the benefits of degassing hydraulic fluids? Will it make the fluid last longer? If so, Can I make a degassing device at home? Thanks, yam711

Hey all!, Can anyone tell me the Cst viscosity rating of Yamaha S1 fork oil at 40 deg. Cel and 100 deg. cel? Aslo the VI? The guy at the shop told me the "S" stand for synthetic. Any thoughts all this stuff?

Thanks pablo, let me get the exact spec. Then I will post back. Don't go out of your way though.

Does anyone know where I can get some aw22 amsoil in a gallon. Doing some testing, and I don't want a 5 gal. bucket laying around.

Sunruh, How can I set up a viscosity tester here at home. I here of some folks pouring it through a 2mm orfice at a certain temp and counting the minutes. For ex. one guy did it at 70 degrees with 10cc, through a 2mm orfice. I believe the 215 spi 3 took around a little over 6 minutes to...

Originally Posted By: sunruh right now i'm running M1 ATF since it is "close" in viscosity to the sauce. Are the Cst's out yet on the formula? sp3 and sp5 are way different. How do you know if its close to MB1? Are you running on MB1 on the inner chamber?

Originally Posted By: sunruh mine is taco'd as well. no stinky sauce for me in the forks, yet. i've been playing with springs and valve stacks and so was not ready to put the sauce in yet. however, the sauce is in the shock.....mucho primo!!! So what are you running in the tacoed fork.?

Originally Posted By: sunruh so what if it turns dark. did you do the del taco kit also? I think its becaue of an a EPA that is used. More of a mental thing I guess. It didn't put a cozy feeling in my belly.

The bike is tacoed. You have the sauce in your forks?

iam running 320 in the outers and using bel-ray 5 wt. fork oil. The shock I have kyb 01. I usually ride motocross. Racing once in awhile.

Thanks for that chart sunruh! That will help a bunch. I don't think ATF will work in the new kyb's inner chamber will it? yam711

Thanks for replying folks, Thanks for that list WileyE, so my thinking is not too far off base is it? using a hydraulic fluid? I have an ISO 15 in my forks, outer and inner chamber. It worked pretty good, It felt a little harsh. I also complained about the small chop with the KYB01 in there too...
