What is the proper oil level/ capacity for 48mm WP forks on a 02 KTM 520 SX. The manual only specifies mm height. I was wondering how many ounces that translates into.

Never mind. I was looking for a ballpark amount to start with since I am new to all this but realized you don't really need that. By the way it took approx. 20 oz. in the 48mm tubes to get to 120 mm. That was after tearing down, cleaning and reassembly.

Cr rev -thats the problem-it all depends on how well cleaned out the forks are-i guess i should have said, but i didnt even know the rough amount on the new wps as i havnt done any.

I think on those new WP48 triple busings youre gonna want to let the forks blled the air out beween the new triple bushings as there is a small chamber in there that holds a bit of air . You may see some very small air bubbles coming up for like maybw 5 minutes or so . The new triple bushing forks seem like they are greatly affected by oil height changes . sorrymy spelling I goota go potty.
