Fork oil level

Mikey10000 · 12-03-2012, 08:52 AM

I took my forks off my GSA 1150 when rebuilding my motor and some of the oil leaked out, however I'm not sure how much. So the question is, is there an easy way to determine how much more oil to add to the forks without having to drain them completely and refilling?

thanks

If what's in there is more than a year old, this would be a good opportunity to do an oil change for both forks.

Clean everything out and fill with new oil.

You're right, probably easier to go with new oil.

Thanks
