GPz1100 A2 Fork oil.... How Much?

#1 PostAuthor: Ginger Bear » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:01 pm

I need to refil my Geepster forks with fresh oil, problem is, I can't find out how much. I have a Clymer manual & while it suggests around 300 ml for various other models it doesn't give a specific amount for my ZX1100-A2.
I thought what the hell & started to put 300 ml in, but I had only got around 200 ml in before oil started to come out of the air balance hole, & yes the forks were extended! Odly enough, when I emptied them there wasn't a lot of oil in them in the first place.
So, anyone know how much should go in :?

244 mL when completely dry.
Approx 210 mL at oil change.
