Take that out and use a funnel to put the fluid in, and im pretty sure its 15w oil you need.

Good luck mate
checked the manual, 10 w oil plus 490cc of fork oil......would i be right in saying the the 490cc is for the 2 forks and not per fork....doesnt state that in the manual..... almost 500cc of oil is alot for the one fork.... :whistle:

off to get oil and some thread lock too.

thanks to all contributers. :smile:
400grey is a wealth of info

sorted..... :grin: put in 250 ml in each fork and put in 10psi then with foot pump....handles better by far...... just quick note though. would i be right in saying the 20mm hole in the fork holders on the right side as you sit on bike is route for front brake hoses?

cheers guys. case closed....ha ha
