What type of fork oil and how much fork oil should I use in my CB450 / CL450 / CB500T?

We recommend a 10W (light rider) to 15W (heavy rider) motorcycle fork oil. ATF is approximately 5W and replacing it with a heavier weight oil will stiffen up your front end.

Factory spec on the fork oil is of premium quality ATF (automatic transmission fluid).
