If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

number twelve that has gone metric?
haha no but seriously you can get fork oil at any bike shop 10 is the weight or viscosity of the oil.
I do not know what differs in motro oil and fork oil except that fork oils smells good enough to eat.
Likely less heat oriented materisl and more anti-foam stuff in it.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. #10 and 10 wt are not always the same thing. You need to either by #10 suzuki fork oil or find out from the bottle or Suzuki what weight it actually is. That goes for all brands. Unless it specifically says on the bottle that it is 10 wt. it isn't neccesarily 10 wt. 10 wt is an SAE standard that has to be met before it can say 10 wt. Manufacturers that don't want to pay for the SAE testing to comply with the standard will not be able to put 10 wt on the bottle so the use their own numbering system. #10 might be 10 wt, but it doesn't have to be.
