Quantity of oil in a fork?
Hi everybody 
I've just renovated my "new" fork on my 400 GSF. In fact, this is a fork that has been imported from abroad.
The problem is that I leave in France and the fork which is currently on my motorbike is not the same as yours (sorry but I'm not gonna explain
, it's too late 
)... When I mean "yours", it means front wheels with 2 discs (in France 400 GSF have been imported with 1 disc on the front wheel. Thus the fork aren't the same). I think I finally explained 
Thus I know the quantity of oil to put in my "french" fork
(about 495 mL), but I don't know the quantity to put in an "english" fork??
Is someone able to answer my question, please?
Thanks a lot
see you
EDIT : is someone knows where I can find on the internet (link
), the 400 GSF's manual review in english (I've got it in French 
)

Re: Quantity of oil in a fork?
Hi, I believe the Japanese imports (twin disc versions) take the same quantity of oil as the others, approximately 495ml; the north American bikes (which have a single disc at front) apparently take 494ml!
I have both english service & parts (microfiche) manuals in .pdf; they're quite large, so I'm not sure how I can make it available for you. Sorry I can't remember where I got them from on the net!
