    oil quantity

    Hey I would like to know if 180cc is equivalent to 180 ml in theory yes, but we are talking oil fork here not same thickness as water?

    Did I make a mistake by pouring 180ml in my fork?

    One milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter, always and forever regardless of the fluid being measured. That is why a 1000 cc engine is also called a 1 liter engine.

      You did make a mistake if you just dumped in a certain volume of fork oil without actually measuring the level.

      180ml/cc will get you close if the forks were freshly assembled and completely dry and clean inside. If you just drained the oil and refilled, you'll have some random amount too much oil. It's important that the oil levels in both forks match closely, so you should measure as outlined in the manual.
