Amount of fork oil?!?!?!? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

imcrosseyed · 11-04-2005, 09:03 PM

I am a new member to the volusia family. I am not sure tis is the correct forum to post this question but I am sure someone will direct me in the right way if it's not. My bike was salvage and the fork tubes needed to be replaced. I have some on the way and was wondering what weight fork fluid to use and how much in each fork? Is there a place where someone can find this kind of information on the web? Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks and God Bless,

Someone here has the manual in PDF format, I downloaded it but do not know how to share it. Punch in volusia manual in the search function.
Some one with skills will come up shortly.

The service manual says:

Suzuki Fork Oil SS-08 (#10) or equivilent fork oil

Front Fork Oil Capacity (each leg): 412ml / 13.9 oz.

Front Fork oil level service limit: 177mm / 6.96 in.

When adjusting the oil level, remove the fork spring and compress the inner tube fully.
