[QUOTE="brentn, post: 1362848, member: 109282"] I took off the forks a couple days ago, the bike's going through an overhaul right now and I'm correcting everything that I don't like or that's wrong with it. I found the bleed screws that you mentioned, and undid them with an allen key, they were on the side of the head bolt for the fork. When I did so, nothing changed, and nothing happened and the shocks feel really spongy and they do bottom out. I'm thinking it's low fluid but I have no idea how much they need. Heres the weird part though, and I'm hoping that you can tell me what the hell I can do with these things to fill them. On the bottom of each fork is a 'filler' nipple, it looks almost exactly the same as the valve from the tubes of a tire. When I pressed on the inner pin, oil came out.. Is this how you fill these things? lmao, i"ve never seen anything like it before, but then again I don't have much experience with forks. How much fluid do I need? I know that there has to be a precise amount but if I don't have a manual is there a way to ball park it? I really appreciate your help RM guy btw, and I thank you. Just for kicks I went to my local bike scrap yard and found a 93 yz250 front end, with forks, triple clamp, caliper and disk. I asked the guys how much it would be for that front end and they said 600$.... I turned around and walked out... I was hoping that maybe I could just replace these no name shocks with something decent, but not for 600$.. [/QUOTE]
