    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.

Hello all,

I have a simple question, but one I haven't found the answer for. I tried searching this site but kept getting an error message, so apologies for any cross posting.

I'm in Australia, have a 1982 GSX1100EZ, and need to know what the fork oil capacity is.

Thanks so much, Alex

I just changed mine sunday.
The manual for my 750 gave a measurement below the top of the fork with the springs removed.
Took a vacume cleaner, a can, a length of fuel hose, a washer, tape and a piece of foam large enough to go over can.

Put foam on top of can and spin until can cuts foam enough to sit on without falling off.
Cut hole through foam large enough to insert vacuum hose so it sits above can opening.
Drill a hole to pass fuel hose through.
Run hose to bottom of can.
On other end of hose tape your washer at the height you need oil level at.
Insert hose down fork as far as washer and turn on vacuum.

Works real well to bleed breaks too.
