When reassembling the forks on a motorbike the main spring and all other internal components should be in the fork tubes then add the oil, as to weight I assume you mean fork oil viscosity. Fork oil for general use is usually 5w or 10w but you need to look up the specific oil type for your bike, also the capacity is unique to each bike but you can measure the oil by pouring the required amount into the upright tubes make sure that the levels are the same, use a straightened wire coat hanger and measure the level in each fork so that any differences are reduced so as to not affect the safe handling of the motorbike as uneven forks can be very dangerous.
Look on youtube to find videos of fork oil change etc.
OK officially you are supposed to measure oil height. Oil quantity is not quite right because you cannot measure the amount of oil remaining in the passages or on the walls. its only a little but to be correct set it at 110mm from the top, compressed, no spring.
if you don't have the tool and don't wanna try to do it properly, 300cc per fork.
Hi, all model VS 800 from1992-2000 take the same amount of oil in the front forks, using 10 weight fork oil measure into a clean measuring device or mark the side of the oil bottle 413 mls, pour this caerfully into 1 fork, and the same amount into the other fork, 413/413 cm (3)
hi, the fork oil level on an 2002-2004 vfr 800 is measured by air gap, with the forks fully compressed with the springs fitted, the air gap between the top of the fork and the oil level should measure 100mm. hope this helps, paul
Depending on the G S 450 model you have these forks take between 5.1 to 6.4 Imp. oz. the best way is to drain the fork oil into a measuring cup and then replace that same amount + a bit . Any fork oil will do the job you can even get a synthetic one now. Good Luck
Remove the small plugs at the bottom of each fork slider and drain the forks. Do this by working the forks up and down until the forks are empty. Then, refill the forks with the proper amount of oil. Since you are not disassembling the forks and cleaning them out, you should use the "wet" measure of oil instead of the "dry" measurement.
Since you didn't tell me exactly what year model 883 you have, if the fork tubes are 39mm tubes (measure the top tube) use the following amount of oil. I use 30 wt. fork oil. If this is too stiff, drop down to 20 weight.
883 Hugger --- 10.7 ounces
all others --- 9.0 ounces
That's the only ones I have information for at this time.
Go to cycle gear and get the fork oil measurer. it will cost minimal and you can measure 1 fork. mark it then do your work, after that just fill to the level that you removed. recomend olins oil. costly but great. about $40 a bottle. 1 bottle will do both
its 120 mm or 4.7 inches from the top of the fork
Some measure the oil quantity and fill the fork up, some fill the fork up and measure the oil level. The most correct method is to measure the level, I guess, but many guys measure in quantity.. both ways work well.
