RVF400 - Please advise on ideal weight of oil for forks & how much / measurement etc....?

When you push down on handlebars the forks do not seem to be returning back much?? Any thoughts on that please??

Any improvements that I can do to the forks??

Cheers
Tracy

Contact rick oliver, he does a fork upgrade kit for about £100, inc springs, oil, seals and a syringe to set oil level right. Well worth it.
