What type of oil is used in forks?

[kormos_93]

I rebuilt my forks (seals, boots etc...) & am wondering what kind of oil I need for the front forks of my atc 200m. (Don't want to bother reading the manual). Thanks

I haven't read the 200M manual specifically, but all the other that I have read (350X, 250R, 250SX) say to use regular old ATF (yes, automatic transmission fluid). Of course, you can buy fork oil, and if you are wanting a specific weight of oil, this is what you shouild do. But for daily riders, I think ATF is fine.

Those are sealed dampers I think.
