    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.

HELP! Fork oil level 81 gs650g

In order to get dual discs on to my 77 GS750B, I pulled from Dual disc Forks off of an 81 GS650G. I don't have a manual handy that covers the 650, and my only internet at the moment is my cell phone. In the 550 manual that I have there are several models listed and not a single one has the same oil volume or height listed!

I pulled them apart to put new seals in and install cartridge emulators, as well as install chopped GS750 Springs.

It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out with the specs needed for oil level and oil volume. Thanks!
 
My 650G manual states the following:
Fork volume = 210 ml (7.10 oz)

oil level = 165 mm (6.5")*

* oil level measured with spring removed & inner tube compressed fully.
