Fork Oil

Hello George,
It says in the manual that I bought on a cd disc that the oil should be at 180 mm, give or take 10 mm, from the upper edge of the inner tube, fully compressed without the spring - no mention of what volume this equates to unfortunately but it says something about 650cc. However this does not explain if that is for both forks or for one.
The recommended oil is Liqui Moly Racing suspension oil SAE 7,5.


Hope this is of some use,

Dave

Hi again,
I found it on Ebay George, after searching around for a while. It covers the 2004 model but I have a 2001 TT600R as it happens - I couldn't find a CD for that year!
It is fine for lots of things but not for the Ohlins suspension, the kickstart of course and I don't need the wiring diagrams for the battery etc,
Cheers,

Dave
