Question

changing fork seals for mot,need to know how much replacement oil to put in forks

Answer 1

Hi there,
You will need at least 1.5 ltrs, each fork leg should take no more than 600mls but its also best to flush each fork leg out before oil replacement and its usually better to use the oil that you using. Another thing to think about is "Do I want to stiffen up the fork?" Changing the oil type to a slight heavier, sportier type would be a good idea and most bike shops can advise. Let me add though it is important that although you fill each leg with similar amounts of oil, the oil levels in each leg must be the same fill level, ie try to measure the level. Haynes manuals are very helpful and a must buy when doing these type of repairs. Good Luck!
