    Robert, i can't give you exact numbers for your year bike, but 97-98 were around 287ml(each) for the fork legs, and if your around 80 kgs i'd say 12 psi should be fine.

    Hopefully someone else will chime in to confirm or deny.

    I always add an extra 25ml to each leg over what the manual calls for. Make syre both legs have an EQUAL amount.

    Hope this helps.

    No worries mate. The manual calls for 10 psi for a rider of 150 lbs, add 1 psi for every 25 lbs over that. So i'd say 13 psi should be fine.
