anybody got any specs on how much fork oil to put in iron front forks?????
I would nopt be putting back in what came out, from factory my bike had a difference of 60mls between the forks. So best to take your time and do it right, i used some tape to deflect the oil into a container rather than spray all over the bike and floor, make sure you put the caps back on and pump out as much oil as you can. 401ml/13.6oz , Remove spring and preload spacer, compress shockers fully, pour in 401ml/13.6oz oil, then check that the oil level is 3.11in/79mm from the top. What i did was get a syringe and mark 79mm from the end, place it in the shocker to correct level and suck out the excess from the centre of the tube. This process will get the oil level spot on, from there you can play with spring preload and add/remove oil to suit your riding/weight. If you do decide to add/remove oil from stock level make sure you record exactly how much you remove so you can atleast get back to stock eaisly, as you can loose yourself in preload and oil levels....
Here is some good info that is very much worth reading...
