Title: Fork oil question.
Post by: Toecutter on August 11, 2003, 01:09:13 PM
When filling up the fork oil (fork tube fully compressed, springs and spacers out), should the oil come all the way up to the cap threads?  After installing my new springs, I put in new oil, and since I didn't have anything to accurately measure the oil level, I fudged it by just putting in exactly 22.9 oz of oil, like it says in the repair manual.  Now it seems like the fork is way overdamped, and I'm wondering if it's because I overfilled the fork.  I used the stock oil weight.
