    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How much fork oil in '81 GS750EX?

How much oil do the forks take on an '81 GS750EX? Oz. or CC. I'm planning on flushing out the old oil, let them drain overnight, then replacing with 15w oil. Will ATF work the same? Any particular type? (Mercon, type F, etc.) I'm also planning on capping the air ports since the PO broke the valves and apparently it's unnecessary to put air in my forks. Not going the Progressive spring route yet, want to see how it handles with fresh oil/no air first.
 
I don't have the specs for a 750EX.

GS(X)750E 237ml (8.01-8.34 OZ) Code E-01, 28,30
230ml (7.77-8.10 OZ) others

fork oil level 229mm 9.0s inchs.

Won't be far away....

81 Owner's Manual says:

81 Owner's Manual says:

191 ml per each fork = 6.45 oz

Right off page 61 in the owner's manual.

Also: 10psi - 14.4psi max in shocks with 25psi front - 28psi rear tires or it will ride like a fat hog with poor braking and handling. I assume you are replacing the seals?? The book only calls for fork oil...so I would use that light shock oil not any other oil.

It doesn't take much to lose all the air when checking. I bought a very small gage and use it quickly so as not to even lose the small amount in the gage each time.
