Gen 1 fork oil capacity/air gap problem

[Flooky]

More than likely they weren't fully drained. I left mine hanging overnight and still had to pump them several more times in the morning to get all the oil out. Even then they didn't quite take the full specified amount of oil. If I were you I'd take them off again and get the air gap right.

I assume you followed the correct procedure to bleed the air from the forks, particularly step 9

8. After filling the front fork leg, slowly stroke the damper rod up and down (at least ten times) to distribute the fork oil.Be sure to stroke the damper rod slowly because the fork oil may spurt out.
9. Slowly stroke the inner tube up and down to distribute the fork oil once more (1 stroke = about 150 mm). Be careful not to stroke the inner tube over 150 mm as this will cause air to enter. If the inner tube is stroke more than 150 mm, repeat steps (10) and (11).
10. Before checking the fork oil level, wait ten minutes until the oil has settled and the air bubbles have dispersed.

cheers for the reply, so assuming yours were drained , the amount or the air gap is wrong ? I cant see dealers playing about draining and measuring fork oil, they would just drain and fill with the specified amount.
