Just got a pair of 3EN2 fork legs. The guy I bought them from had to drain the oil before he could send them. How much oil do they take?. Also, I'm going to change the seals. Can you prise them out from the top without completely stripping the forks
Cheers

You need to dismantle the forks and 100mm air gap, you need 2 bottles of oil.

You might find that a bit soft with 100mm air gap.
Manual states 90mm and they are still soft with that and the std spring ( actually there is more spacer than spring nearly.
The oil capacity is 523 ml/cc per leg so get plenty.
I uprated to 15 w oil on one 3EN2 and it was sound for a 13st rider.
Std 3EN2 spring/spacer vs. Wirth progressive.

TRX850 springs with no spacers work jolly well in 3EN2 forks.
