Karen_Agusta Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 . The XJ900 models are specified to use a 5W fork oil ... though it is good to understand that the primary purpose of fork oil is not for lubrication (though it does achieve this) the primary purpose is hydraulic dampening ... though you are specified to use five if you have some mileage on the bike ... and therefore some wear on the forks ... you may wish to use ten weight to make up for this ... either way make sure your seals are good and puchase the highest quality fork oil you can find ... a few good places to shop are ... ... ... and for certain items ... ... they are UK based however thier inventory is excellent. Regarding capacity the only one I remember for is the 83 and its capacity is 286 cc ... though I would not work on the bike without a 'HAYNES" service manual which shall tell you all you need to know regarding your current inquiry ...
