Z500 Rehabilitation

Hello
I recently got a Z500 B2 in a quite good shape... and I m about to get an other one with a good engine but bad body
I started to renew it a bit, but I still don t have the technical book
So I would like to share some technical problems
Datas and advices about Z500 are quite rare
I read that Kodex knows quite well this machine, Hi Kodex

So I cleaned eveything, changed engine oil, filters, cleaned tanks, carburetors, Chain, master cylinder, calipers, changed pad sets,...
Th engine starts like a brand new one, but I just want to refresh because it stayed for years without moving

Now I am on the front fork to change oil and oil seal but I don t know the exact quantity (volume) of oil to put. Anybody knows ?

And another question is about the type of liquids for Z500 :
- Type of gasoline ?
- Type of engine oil ?
- Type of break fluid ?
- Type of fork fluid ?

Otherwise, I dont know the real strength and reliability of this machine, but that is still quite easy to work on, with quite strong materials. And for sure it looks like a real bike, as if you ask a child to draw a motorbike .... simple but with everything

Thanks a lot in advance
Bob
