    Hi and thanks for this very informative site. I am the latter end of building an FZR250 (my Phazer can wait). I have searched everywhere to find the correct oil capacity for the 2KR 35mm forks. If someone could even give me a baseline what capacity or level from top of forks they use would be helpful. I appreciate that the 3LN has the capacity, height from top of forks etc on here but these are larger both externally and internally. I did read somewhere (memory fades) that the 2KR only takes 275ml whereas the 3LN takes 390ml, this appears to be a large discrepancy for a small fork size increase. Front forks are being rechromed at the moment so they will be a dry refill.
    Just to say the bike is a 1HX, it was covered in green algae and an arachnophobics worst nightmare, but on the + side it has been in this country for over a decade, unregistered and with 6.5k on the clock, stripping it has been a dream (apart from siezed calipers) all bolts, nuts etc releasing with no effort and no damage to any part of the bike. Another 3 or 4 weeks and should be on the road <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> . Thankyou in advance for any input.

    Nice find Trev. You dont find many of these FZR 250 bikes in the UK full stop, nice to hear of another one getting back into use <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
