    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.

GS450 Fork Oil Volume

I did a search and didn't find the answer to my question....I'm changing fork seals and fork oil on my GS450T (1981). I don't have a manual to see how much fork oil to use for the refill. Quantity in Oz. or CC will be fine, or better yet (I think more accurate), would be how far from the top of the tube should the oil level be (fork collapsed or extended, without springs or with springs... however it's spelled out to measure).

Thanks, in advance.

I don't recall the volume or height, but you measure with the spring out and fork collapsed, and you measure the height from the top of the fork slider.

Don't have my factory manual handy at the moment to give you the info unfortunately, but try the Clymer or Haynes if they're online on BassCliff's site, should have the info in it.
 
Thanks gentlemen! Just what I was needing. I'm glad the height and quantity were both listed. I personally think the height is more accurate of the two methods.

I appreciate your quick responses. One day, hopefully, I'll be able to offer someone some help.
