admacp Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Is anyone able to tell me the proper method of measuring & refilling front fork oil for an 03 pro 250 and an 04 pro 280. I beleive you can measure down from the top of the stanchion tube to the oil level but I am not sure if this is the recommended way. What weight of oil (for both bikes) does anyone recommend. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 On these forks it is normally a volume measurement used. If I remember correctly a starting point is 300cc per leg. 5wt is generally standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Some very meticulous folks (read: Jon Stoodley ) allow for variables in how much oil draind out during a change and prefer to measure the height of the oil. Check his tech tips on the GG website. There might be a spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
