DirtTorpedo Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Stupid question: The Service Manual, page 13-24 calls for 483ml (16.3 oz) of oil. That's PER FORK, right? Reason I ask is that I only sucked out about half that volume in old (very dirty) oil per fork. I used a brake-bleeder pump rather than removing the wheel and using the drain plug. The manual also says to measure the level to be 5.6" from the top of the fork pipe. I don't get the point of this - if I sucked out all the old and put in the proper volume of new, shouldn't that be sufficient? Or do you never really get all the old stuff out? thanks, Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider99XX Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I just replaced the seals on mine. The damping rod will hold some oil. You need to pump the damping rod several times to remove the oil inside it. Then pump the rod several times after you replace the oil to remove the air inside the damping rod.
