I thought it would be hard to find as well. but of all places to look, I found it at auto value.

Was it extra-virgin 20 wt?
Nope... just plain old virgin oil.
Yes thats the pics i remember from the manual..I may have missed the "10" part. I just mixed up straight 30 wt and ATF all 6 bikes have it and they handle just fine to me...
Being the cheap skate that I am, I went looking for some straight 20W a while ago to blend into fork oil and couldn't find any. Some of the other Suzuki manuals call for 10W/20 but couldn't find that either.

Put in new seals last year...bought Motul fork oil from the local shop (around $9.00, IIRC)...then came across an ad on the local Craigs, where a guy had closed his motorcycle shop and was liquidating some odds & ends. Among the miscellaneous items were a few bottles of Bel-Ray fork oil for (get this) $2.50 a quart. 
Had two left, by the time I got there, #10 and #20...I got both. Mixing them 50/50 brought great results, in fork feel.
Speaking of fork feel, I did once try the extra-virgin ...too much stiction.

Thats funny since Harley uses motor oil in the tranny.
Funny that I ran Redline Shockproof in it. Overpaid at the local bike shop. Thanks!
I bought HD labeled oil, once, when I had my FXRC. Once, and never again. When I got it home I discovered that the the metal foil seals on each bottle had been tampered with and were no longer sealing. I was convinced that someone (a fine, upstanding employee of the dealership IMO) had replaced the HD oil with God knows what. I mentioned it to the partsman on my next visit. All I got in response was a good laff. Lesson learned.
As for using ATF, I remember doing that back in the early 70's per the owner's manual for my X-6 Hustler. I may just go back to the stuff.

Someone probably bought it, used it, filled it with a facsimile, and returned it. Every now and then, someone returns a gallon of paint to the Home Depot that's just milk or something else instead of paint. Cheap bastards!

I use 15w40 and ATF here.
And a new set of Avons.
Think it costed me like $5 for the 2 quarts.
The ride quality really isn't that rough as everyone "said" it would be.
It's very solid, but your average bump is easily managable.
My bike isn't "jumping", like it used to be.
It's MUCH better than my old setup.....stock fork fluid with 10 year old tires.

We're concocting home brew for something that costs $1X, lasts 5 years, and probably lasted 20 years on the last change. On to the next thread . . . .
Dpage..we arent concocting any kind of home brew..The formula is clearly ststed in an official Suzuki manual. Its a factory standard. And if you leave your fork oil in for 20 years your suspension isnt at its optimal performance. Just like anythimg else the oil will break down and loose its viscocsity.
