It's either 390, either 450
I think it's 390, and you confirmed

Re: Quantity of oil in later type forks?
I've got one more question :
In haynes manual, it is said to check the level of oil with a "tape measure".
If I do put 390cc, am I obliged to check with that "tape measurement" too ? Or it will be useless?
Thank you mates
