Hello All, question about oil capacity of the forks please. These are the old steel-tubed sliders with simple bushes and seals that are held in place by knurled nuts that screw onto the top end of the sliders. How much fork oil should I squirt in please?

Thanks

Stephen

The 'drain plug' is also the level plug. If your forks bottom out? top up the oil. No quantity was specified, one simply added suitable oil until it commenced to run out of the level plug.

Thanks Tim. I knew about the level/drain plugs but thought someone would be able to advise me roughly how much to put in so I didn’t waste too much! Having now squirted some in and got a dribble from the level plug, I can report that the capacity of each fork leg is about 160ml
