Fork Oil
Ok...dip **** question. I'm assembling my forks after having them powder coated.....all done. Now I need to fill them up with oil. Do I just need to dump the perscribed amount of oil down the tubes then TRY to get the top tube bolt threaded?...or am I missing something?...and is there a trick to getting thetop tube bolts in since Ineed to compres the springs? Thanks

RE: Fork Oil
I think you should have a drain/fill plug on the bottom (where it curves around the axle) and there after the springs are compressed you put in the prediscribed amount of oil................I would think

On the 06 up, there is not a prescribed amount.
There is a measurement down
from the top of the fork pipe
to the top of the oil.
The measurement is taken
After
pumping the air out of the oil
that you have just put in.
