Also the RS stuff doesn't seem to be as slippery as the stock Zocch oil. The fork doesn't operate as smoothly. And finally, the RS stuff foams like a son-of-a-gun in any Zocch I've used it in. This is a bad thing. When the oil foams it's pumping all those tiny air bubbles into your damper and making it practically useless. Go with Golden Spectro 125/150 if you can get it. It's the best stuff I've used to date in a Zocch. Should be available at a Motorcycle shop for around $8 to $10 a quart. That's about 3 times the oil for the same price as that little bottle of RS oil.
