1999 FZX250 Zeal, need the fork oil grade and quantity per leg

You can use Castrol 10 fork oil which is a mediocre type or Castrol 15 for hard rebound. The quantity should not exceed 250 ml per leg. Cheers

How much oil to fill in front sunspension on fj 1100 - 1985 model and to use 5 grade ?

I wouldn't use 5 wt oil.I fell it's a bit light. Proberbly 10 or 15 wt depending on your size.
Not sure about the quantity.It's not easy getting specs these days & Iv'e found most qualified bike mechanics (including me) set them by the fork oil level these days. I must admit however I do prefer the quantity as some forks are outside the golden rule- & of course then you a required to keep up to date with what theyare(some showas commonly)

To set them by level, check the distance from the top of the shock to the oil with the fork fully compressed without the spring. Set this to 110mm & you will be fine
Hope this helps
Regards
Andrew
