Skorpion Fork Rebuild Time.
Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 12:44 pmWhat weight oil is recommended for the Skorpion Tour? Also what is available in the U.S. for fork springs?
SAE 20
All Skorpions except the replica have the same basic Paioli fork.
I prefer 15. you can mix fork oils to get inbetween weights.
Experiment with air column height: 150 is too high, too much air for sporty solo riding.
I use 135mm
Remove the dust seals to help the fork slide more easily; true racing forks don't have them at all.
Wilbers must have a US jobber, they have springs for that fork as did WhitePower. There are also Promotor and Wirth over here. Penske makes(made?) a strut for the bike; maybe they have springs. Dale Walker sold springs for the Bilstein strut, maby he knows something. Try to get ahold of Galen Miller.
