What does your manual suggest?

If you have the factory manual, it is on page 10-49.

If you have BassCliff's pdf version of that manual, it's on page 231.

Hi,

Even more important than the amount is the fork oil level. There should be less than 1mm difference between the two forks.


Thank you for your indulgence,

That information is on the same page.

I'm restoring it for a customer, no manual, hence I'm asking on here!!!!!
THX, I'll go to the dealers tomorrow, they'll be able to pull it up for me.

Why not download the manual from BassCliff's site?

I'm sure that this is what Steve is hinting at.

I thought it was a little more than "a hint".

I mean, hey, even if you don't keep the manual, at least look at it before you delete the file.
