1983 gs650 gl fork fluid

[Guest]

I have a 83 gs650gl in my book it sais the fork oil should be sae 15 , & to put 7.7 us OZ in each fork .. that doesn't seam like very much !! Is this the correct amount ? Purchased 2 bottles of MOTUL fork oil and in each bottle theres1 L which is a little more then 32 oz ... wondering why the bike mechanic in the shop suggested that id need two bottles ??

Follow the book man. Just make sure it's not a crappy Clymer's or Hayne's. Basscliff has the factory Suzuki service manual for download on his site if you don't already have it.

And does anyone know an easy way to remove the spring stopper at the very top of the fork ? Push down and remove snap ring ... lol its kinda tricky to push down with one hand . And try popping the snap ring out with the other hand !! Last time I did this I had a 3 rd and fourth hand .. lol

Click HERE to visit BassCliff's library.

The GL section starts on pdf page 246.

The fork oil specs are on page 250.

You are correct, the spec is not for 7.7 ounces, it is for 7.71 ounces.
