Changed my fork oil today .

With the Cap off, spring removed and fork fully retracted i measured the oil level within the fork.
Prior to measuring i collected all the oil that was dripping from the spring and added it back in to the fork.

The oil level was at a depth of 9.5cm from the top of the fork.

I knew that without fully stripping down the fork i wouldn't be able to remove all the oil and i was keen not to overfill or have un equall amounts in the forks.

What i didn't expect was the difference between the recommened refill amount of 330cc and the 280cc i used to fill mine back up to my measured level.
I double checked this by measuring the old oil i removed. It was 280cc.

I would be interested if others have the same oil level measurement. Perhaps mine was under filled from factory.
