Title: Anyone know the fork oil capacity of a 1999 KX250?
Post by: makenzie71 on May 08, 2008, 07:31:55 PM
I'm rebuilding a set of forks...not sure how much oil to throw in there.

Maybe this might help. I was reading it a little, not sure which year yours would be.

I saw that...but it's confusing.  I've gotten conflicting results...some things say 600+ ml and some say 350ml...I was hoping someone here might have had some experience here.

I've owned dirtbikes, but never a kx. Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance.

I had a local guru tell me to fill them up to 70mm from the top (spring out, compressed)...that's what I ran with.  I'll be flushing the fluid before too long, though, so I'll refill it with a little more.
