Fork Oil.... How much

[bobit69]

I am changing the front fork oil on my K3 S and I can't find anywhere in the books on how much oil is needed to re fill.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Just fitted emulators and new springs in our forks, and used not quite a litre for both, if that helps :D

You really should be measuring the oil level rather than going by quantity, but if you simply want to know how much to buy, then as Lissa said, a 1 litre bottle is enough to do the pair. :)

Next question... Air gap? :oops:

For the faired model the oil quantity is 488ml and the airgap is 94mm, measured with forks compressed and springs out.

You can download the manual off the web but can't find it at the moment. If you PM me your email I'll send it to you in bits but it's pretty huge!

Indeed d/l the manuals, handy to have.

You have a pointy so 92mm Nekked, 94mm faired. (P7-22 7_Chassis)
