(inda would be so upset with me right now ... )

Hopin someone would have an answer! Approx. how much oil to put in them, and how to measure it. Thanks!

This needs to be in the "General Question" section, and not here. You will get answers there!

Mobil 1 ATF will be fine.

Specs from the manual say stock oil level is 95mm with an acceptable range of 80 to 130mm. Actually adding the oil and measuring it is the same as any other bike. Check Youtube for some videos showing how it's done.

I guess Rick didn't know the answer.

Yes he did; he is just one of our directional directors and only answers questions if they are placed in the proper category. He's a little uptight.

Moved to general Q&A.

Fork oil is not measured in volume, but in MM from the top of the fork tube. This is fork collapsed, springs installed. I run 110mm, but anything from 90 - 120 should be fine depending on your riding style. Normally people over-fill, then bleed the air out, then suck out the excess using a tube that is marked at the proper distance. Put a syringe or something in the end of a clear piece of tubing, mark the tubing at the correct distance, hold mark at top of fork tube, suck out excess. Done.

Hold up, that should read "fork collapsed, springs removed".

Hey, thanks for all the helpfull tips you guys took the time to answer this thread! Also, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong area. Next time Ill be in the general questions. Happy riding!!
