I got out in the garage yesterday. I decided to change the oil in the forks finally. I have the standard type. I had no idea as the amount of fluid in them so I used a measuring cup to determine the amount so I could refill them the same. After letting the first leg drain completely I kinda thought that the amount just doesn't seem like enough. Does anyone know exactly how much fluid the standard forks take per leg? I proceeded to change both sides and refilled with the same amount that was in them. I'm thinking this will need to be done again as it still doesn't seem like there was enough fluid in them. When removing the cap take it slow as there is a spacer between it and the spring. Some pics...

Fluid = 2/3 cup or 5 1/3 ounces...


Spacer...
