Changing springs in stock forks. Measured oil in one fork 350ml when took apart but it looks like seals were leaking a bit so I'm not sure about the 350ml. Anyone know?
Kawasaki Factory Service Manual says: •Pour in the type and amount of fork oil specified. Fork Oil Viscosity: SS05 or equivalent SAE 5W Amount (per side): When changing oil: approx. 360 mL (12.2 US oz.) After disassembly and completely dry: 426 ±2 mL (14.4 ±0.07 US oz.)
Never fill forks with fluid measurment !!!! Always by level with fork springs out ! Call Traxxion Dynamics they are there for us We use 7.5 weight. more consistent. the amount of oil varies upon weight of your spring. .90 kg = more oil than say 1.0 kg HOPE THIS HELPS
+1 Using volume is unreliable because there is always some fluid left behind when pouring from a container. Get a motion pro or other fork oil level gauge for $30ish and measure with the fork spring out and damping rod installed. Stock fork oil height on the 05/06 is 109 +/- 2 mm.
