Fork Oil

Fork Oil

Fork oils for hydraulic telescopic forks on Harley-Davidson motorcycles are classically monograde oils. Forks simply do not reach the operating temperatures that would make a multigrade oil necessary. The very first hydraulic forks on Harleys were even filled with SAE 50 engine oil. Since then, however, oil technology has made enormous progress and fork oils are specially adapted to their intended use.

How often do you have to change fork oil? Which fork oil should I use for my Harley?

Generally not nearly as often as engine oil, but the intervals should still be observed. Fork oil also ages. The correct change intervals can be found in the workshop manuals. You can also find an overview of how much fork oil and which type you need for your model in the manuals or in our Tech Tips.
