Z1R fork oil capacity???

#1 PostAuthor: z1rtc » Sun Sep 09, 2012 10:59 am

I'm just rebuilding the forks on my Z1R (it needed new stanchions) and I'm struggling to find what the oil capacity should be. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks guys - that's great. We've gone for 180cc of 10W . . . can always change to 15W later if necessary :)
