[QUOTE="afm_722, post: 69779, member: 18169"] The only way I know to measure oil height is to pop the fork caps off. You can add oil through the air release, however. You shouldn't run any air pressure in the fork...make releasing air in the fork a habit like lubing the chain. Checking the oil height(without removing forks): Remove the handlebars, loosen the top fork triple clamps (on both sides), loosen both fork caps. The fork cap will be tightened against the cartridge rod. You need to remove the fork caps from the damper rod's so you can remove the springs. At this point you should be able to rotate the bike forward on the stand and bottom the front suspension. With the cartridge rods fully collapsed, the oil height measurement is the distance from the oil to the top of the upper(outer) fork leg. There are fancy tools you can buy to check this or you can devise your own measurement tool. That's about it. Reverse the steps and be sure to adequately tighten the fork cap against the cartridge rod. ------------------ Regards, Ted '01 KX310, '93 CBR900RR Road Racer [/QUOTE]
