Reply To: Oil change, front fork

[Mats Ljungkvist]

I do understand you, Marcel.
‘Better with less, than too much’!
But as you also understand, there must be something misunderstood here?
Put it like this: One fork leg. Open up, dismantle, drain fully. Mantel it up with NO spring and max compressed, at the bottom, standing up.
Fill it up 380 cc. Jerk the ‘valve bone’ until it moves smooth. Let it ‘harmonize’ at five min. Then stick the meter into the tube and measure. And the meter will remain dry.
From ‘top’ (the threaded part, app 25 mm, of the forged alum outer part of the ‘leg’) down to the top of the “outer tube” HYOSUNG GT 650 Service Manual (Page 163 of 210) | ManualsLib so, 146 + 25  = 171 mm
I must pour 60 more cc oil until the level is obtained?

“There must be some way out of here?
Said the joker to the thief”.
What do you think?
