Hey yall I'm trying to figure out how much fork oil my bike needs. The service manual I found and the Clymer manual I bought both say 180ml, but it seems to me like that's not right? With the springs in and the forks fully extended I hear gurgling, so that means air is going through the passages along with the oil - I assume that's a sign its lower than it should be, but please correct me if I'm wrong and that's normal.
The fork internals match parts lists I've found for this year, so I think it's the original fork. It's a single disk brake/spoked wheel with the axle at the end of the fork.
I'm used to using a oil height measurement rather than oil qty. Anyone got a reference for that?
Also wondering what wt oil folks are using. The manuals call for 50/50 mix of ATF and 10w-30 so I've been running 20wt fork oil but it seems a bit stiff.
