I just got mine done a month ago. I believe it is 60wt oil that you need to use. I am not 100% on the amount that you need though. My mechanic just called Buell to find out how much and then he added an extra ounce so it would make the front end a little stiffer.

Its not 60w oil...

You can use any of the following

Type E - (factory) - 99884-80

+1 Screamin Eagle Performance Oil - 99881-87

+2 Screamin Eagle Racing Oil - 99909-93R

I don't know how I got 60 and E mistaken. Probably because of how fast my mechanic told me the name of it.

The Type E is equal to 10wt i found out to.

Thanks guys.

When I put my new fork seals in and change the oil a month ago I could feel a good change in the suspension. It is much better now and it only had 7000 miles on it when I got it.

Mine have 18k and boy are they toast can't wait to get them back. Then just waiting on the paint to dry.

You will be very satisfied when you get the new oil in there. It makes a huge difference.
