Hi all again! I have another problem with my Mito. I have a upside-down fork ( like the one on mito 1994+ ) and i did made a mistake. I have opened the top screws and then the fork gone all the way down. I have pulled up the bike and put the screws and it-s ok, but it is softer now. What do i have to do to make the fork as it was before (harder to push). Somebody said that i shoud put oil again , but i don-t know what kind of oil or how much to put .. so please help me

I-m sorry for my bad english ...

Thanks!

surely it could be the fork compression...unscrewing the top bolt the normal air level used for the fork compression have been becoming lower and now you have to compensate the lost air with some oil...putting much more oil could be useful but...but i don't want to say a bullshit....roughly speaking i think bring your mito to a good mechanic should be the best thing.

Hi nightelf. You have to fill 420cc of oil per fork.
In my opinion the best oil for the mito is the 15W fork oil, but if you use it in races or so on, you could use a 20W oil (harder).
