How much and what type of fork oil are you all running in your 2019+ kx450s? I know the stock fork oil capacity is a bit low

Kawasaki suspension oil A15-00 44091-0023, but the weight is not clearly stated anywhere. It is the same as Honda Showa SS47 - which is stated as a 5wt in the OEM service manual. These oils were developed for the new 49mm Showa forks

The Kawasaki oil is expensive, I found the Honda oil can be bought cheaper. Or choose your best brand

350ML

I typed in the part number on google and one site had it listed as sae 15w. So I guess the aa-15 means that. This correct? I know the stock oil was pretty thick

Can you add 5cc of different oil (same weight) to your forks or is that a no no?
