2006 blue plastic tank rear shock oil weight??????????
Permalink  
 

hey guys I have been able to research a new complete seal head for the TTR250.

but now I am looking for oil.. do I want 2.5 or 5 or 7 or 10

I am a trail rider and single track. I am about 285lbs with riding gear.

race tech says US1 which from what I read is like 5-7 weight 

also for the nitrogen. the manual says 145 PSI

race tech says 165 PSI 

any recommendations ??

No definitive answer so far found on standard oil weight no

Lots of useful info in sledman 1's posts on this thread though - http://ttr250.activeboard.com/t49311269/rear-shock-absorber-qa-megathread/?sort=oldestFirst&page=3
