Fork oil
I've researched the forum and web and found lots of info on Gen 1 but can't seem to confirm Gen II information. My manual for Gen II says 23.5 oz, 92mm from top of fully compressed tube to oil with no spring installed. Upon draining I got about 21 oz out and had a measurement of about 110mm to the top of the tub. Upon refill with 23.5 oz (as per manual) I had a measurement in the 65mm range. One of these numbers can't be right.
I am not the original owner but I'm guessing this is the first time the oil has been changed at 13K miles.
I ended up sucking out about 2.25 oz to end up with a 100mm measurement. I am thinking about shooting for the difference between the original 110 measurement and the spec of 92.
Suited up I top out at about 145 and rarely carry a passenger.
Can anyone confirm the measurement and the quantity.
