Can you tell me how much oil to put in an en500 forks please, Andy

Hi Alan, What I'd do is when I'm buying the fork oil I'd ask the person serving me OR if you already have the oil just ring the local Yamaha dealer and ask them.........CHEERS..

You have to get the book on this one to redo your forks, If you are replacing a seal or just topping them off, you shouldn't have a leak, but the fork oil is special from any bike shop and the amount is kinda critical, so find a book with the amount of oil needed. Usually you would remove the forks, lay them in a big long pan, pull the ends, and pull the springs and seals out, squeeze them back together and fill them with oil. Hope this helps.

you should put in new fork seals before adding oil -leaking fork seals should be repaired as oil can get on the front brake pads--buy a clymer manual and you can change them yourself

front fork capacity is 285 cc per leg, but you need to take the spring out and fully extend the forks and measure 140mm from the top and thats where your oil needs to sit.

use a 15 weight oil and 270mls per leg

ello m8,, from a 500ml bottle of medium grade fork oil,, pour half of that bottle into each fork leg,, or if u have a litre bottle pour just over a quarter of that bottle into each fork,, cheers

hi there,,if u can see a air valve on top of the forks, then u can use a bicycle or foot pump to squeeze a bit more air to the fork,, or if there is an adjuster on the fork,ie, a plastic lookin cap with 1 2 3 4 and a arrow on it u can turn that to a comfortable position,, if there is nothing u can see, then u either have not enuff fork oil in each fork leg,,or if there is enuff,, u will need to change the grade of fork oil and replace wots in it,, so id say a more harder grade of oil,, usually there isnt enuff oil in the forks to make it dive into the front wheel,, try topping the oil up,,with about,4or 5 egg cup fulls of oil in each leg,,if nothing has made any difference,, put in another 4 or 5 ,,,any probs on how u put oil in2 the legs ,please do come back in ,and il tell u how 2,, im assuming u do no,, ok ,,cheers

You need to take the fork legs out of the triple clamps, put the in a vice, and remove the large nut/bolt at the end. This is spring loaded, so be careful when the end comes off. The inner workings will the slide out and you will be able to see the seals. Put everything back together the way it came apart.
