Hey gang, great finding you!
I was looking for the specs on front fork oil capacity.
Here down at sea level in a rural part of Costa Rica this time of year (summer) everything dries out,including the roads, which are nearly all dirt, and hence dust these days. So maintenance is a constant. I lucked to find this baby, after looking looking to replace my XLR250, that I loved, but I just couldn´t repair the damage incurred to the heads after trying to ford 2 rivers while it was running, both times. I know that was dunb, but hey, live and learn. Anyway, the front forks went pretty dry, and I bought a quart of fork oil, and have already surpassed the amount my mechanic thought it should take(3 ounces per side), by double and it still doesn´t feel 100%. Not having an owners manual, I was hoping someone might that can set me straight. I don´t want to overfill it. Thanks y´all!
