So now out to garage, make a fork spring compressor and rod clip
Oil bought = 5w for both legs, it seems as though light weight people and as standard forks have between 2.5w and 5w oil ,
some slow the forks down with up to 10w oil in one or both legs.Perhaps if you are heavier, or huge braker,,,slow down :lol
Oil volume should be 545ml standard and air gap at stock is 3.75" and common up to 4" =110mm
Some have drained theirs and only got 470mls out,,thats if it all came out
.
I will measure mine now in my new cheapo plastic measure jug :lol
