Hi,

Are the forks and shocks on the DT rebuildable or serviceable?

At 47,000kms I definitely think they are extremely tired.

you may only need oil,. 185 CC. of oil, they ask for #8 oil ,. I installed #10 fork oil, it firmed it up , and your oil is probably low on oil,

de dee,
What is #10 weight fork oil? I am only familiar with the W weighting measurement. i.e 2.5W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W & 30W.
