Just tried the search feature, and seems my 3 and four letter words are too common again, I really must learn some bigger words!!!
![]() ![]() Im in the middle of changing fork oil on the sv, ive removed the forks and theyre now upside down so the oil and cack can drain out. (the oil was really black and frothy) Is it right that to fill up with new oil I simply leave the spring out, and fill to within 104mm of the top of the leg with the chrome part (stansion is it?) compressed? Thanks, Lee |

Blimey it's Christmas - give us a chance!
From the SV1000 manual Place the front fork vertically without spring . Compress the front fork fully . Pour the specified front fork oil into the front fork up to the top of the inner rod . Move the inner rod slowly more than ten times until no more air bubbles come out from the oil . The air-gap depends - Hagon spec different with their springs. HTH |

Fork upright, spring removed, pour in roughly the right volume of oil, then slowly pump the fork leg a few times, don't do it quickly or you'll trap loads of air bubbles in the oil which can alter its volume quite a bit.
Put the fork to one side and leave it for a little while until there are no bubbles on the surface of the oil. If in doubt slowly pump the fork a couple more times and put it aside again. When you're happy that the oil is settled, slowly compress the fork fully and then measure the oil level.
