    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know how much oil in the front forks in mL's cos I want to bleed em and put some some new oil in cos my suspension is wayyyy to soft and bottoms out even on tiny bumps. Would any one reccomend going foir a differnt grade of oil other than 10w?? My fork were leaking so i put some engine stop leak around the fork seal and it seem to stop the problem of oil leaking for the time being lol.


    Thanks Heaps,
    Dominic

    I have no clue regardign the amount, but I would assume it would be slightly more oil than you would take out (since they were leaking). In other words I would suggest measuring how much you take out, and then increase it a bit.

    Hey man its 100mm which is 10 cm from the top of the fork tubes.

    Ok listen take out the fok springs and com press the forks. then take a ruler and measure 10 cm push it down the fork tube and start pouring oil in the tubes.

    when the oil reache the buttom of the ruler you have in the correct amount. do the same for the other fork. And if they are stil soft do like be through in another 1 cm in each and its gonna stiffen up a bit.

    Too much oil will burst your seals.
