Now the reason behind this article is because not many people really know about fork oils and their maintenance. Similar if the liquid is of a lower viscosity it won’t provide enough lubrication as well and cause friction which will end up in damage. Thus if a higher viscosity liquid is used, then it does provide the lubrication but a higher amount of energy is required to wade through it. To give an example for this, the least viscous liquid is water as it flows off easily, but the one with higher viscosity is Honey as it does not flow off easily. Those who are not familiar with the term viscous or viscosity, it simply means the thickness of the liquid to provide proper lubrication as well as has load carrying capacity. Hence for that reason the front forks of the bike are filled with a highly viscous liquid, Fork Oil. Yes, there is a piston and there is a spring, but the spring is not powerful enough to take the entire front end load of the bike during an uneven surface.

Those who thought that the front two shock absorbers of your bike were simply two piston springs, then you are simply wrong. If you thought that your bike only needed engine oil and brake oils, think again.
