Hi

I'm pretty sure that is just a 5w fork oil, so any off road dealer should have that on the shelf.

hope this helps.

The best thing to do is match the viscosity, not the weight. The "weight" can vary drastically with manufactures. Find your oil on this chart, then find something close you can get.

You are going to level, not quantity.

Right leg gets 38mm (approx 405 CC)

Left leg gets 87mm (approx 410 CC)

Left leg is measured without spring. Pump leg 8-10 times then measure.

All levels measured with leg compressed.

Shout if you need anything else.

I use one of these.

It is from motion pro. You can rig something up with a tube and a turkey baster if you need too.

The slide is adjusted to the fork oil height (distance from the top of the fork tube) you need. Fill the fluid up to a level above what you need, suck out what you don't.

This is done with the fork full compressed and spring removed if there is one.

OR, you could just very carefully fill it up with a scale down in the tube to measure the level. Stop when you hit desired level.

Did you take it apart or someone else?

Re-assembly is the reverse of dis-assembly

Spring side goes into the leg.
