Just wanted to say, since no one is really clear what weight oil should be used,that I was looking around for fork oil and the manual says to use kayaba ss-8 or equivalent. If honda is to be trusted ss-8 is a 10w fork oil (I picked up honda's ss-8 oil to change the fork oil). I found that ss-7 is a 5w oil. So assuming this is some sort of Japanese nomenclature 10w is whats in the forks.
