Fork oil ....will it be ok?
So due to a screw up I ended up with a bottle of extra heavy and a bottle of heavy fork oil. Of course I didn't realize this until I had ten ounces into one leg and six ounces in the other AND had the second bottle opened up and the last four ounces poured into the measuring cup.
Question: Should I drain and combine all twenty ounces then divide equally into forks? Or drain and combine ALL thirty two ounces and then fill fork legs?

you could drain them and mix the 2 equally. but that would give you a stiffer front end than the heavy and many people find the heavy too stiff.
best bet, get the viscosity that you want and do it again. right this time.

Drain it, throw it away and get yourself some 15 wt. BelRay or Maxima. Then live happily ever after.
