    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just rebuilt the forks but I cant find the amount of fluid (oz) that goes in each leg!
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance guys....
(ps, the restoration is coming along real nice)

What does your manual suggest?

If you have the factory manual, it is on page 10-49.

If you have BassCliff's pdf version of that manual, it's on page 231.

Hi,

Even more important than the amount is the fork oil level. There should be less than 1mm difference between the two forks.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I'm restoring it for a customer, no manual, hence I'm asking on here!!!!!
THX, I'll go to the dealers tomorrow, they'll be able to pull it up for me.

Why not download the manual from BassCliff's site?

I'm sure that this is what Steve is hinting at.

I thought it was a little more than "a hint". :-\\\

I mean, hey, even if you don't keep the manual, at least look at it before you delete the file.
