Oh Belray is the brand of fork oil I use,,, it just harkens back to the days when I flat tracked,,, they were the only decent fork oil company at the time so I've kind of stuck with them

The fork oil numbers is the weight or viscosity,, or thickness,, the heavier the weight the slower or harder it is to go thru the damping valves for better control( if you ride like I do which is hard and aggressive ),,, when you go thru like rapid stutter bumps thin oil will go thru too fast and won't let the fork fully extend back to "rest" and you get a condition called " pump down",,, the fork legs fully compress down to the end of the stroke and you have no suspension ,,, ( had that happen on a bike and it almost got me killed because I ran out of suspension in a curve and I bounced into the other lane ) thank the gods no one was coming the other way or we wouldn't be talking right now,, I literally did the grandpa ride home and I disassembled the front end within the hour,,,I didn't ride that thing again till I reworked the forks

Seals are easy peasy if you can find the correct replacements,,,,as far as volumes that's manual spec stuff there,,, I always run an ounce or two over to have a bit of a stiffer fork ( the air column over the oil is a spring as well,,, forgo the springs and run 3/4 inch height 3/4 inch sechedule 80 irrigation pipe for more preload,, and I run 15 or 20 w belray

You need the rear pulley to be all the way to the bottom not the top

What kind of top speed are you getting with it?,,,if it's in the 40mph range you may have hit "top end" after all it is a 50,,,it may be time for a little variator work to see if you can get a few more mph
