2016 Sportster 48 fork oil capacity?
hello, I cant find anywhere online that tells me the fork oil level for both forks on a 2016 sportster 48 (has stock 49mm forks). one is just spring and spacer and the other is a cartridge. any info would be greatly appreciated before I shell out another $130 for a sporty manual since this is a buddys bike lol

The reason you cant find the amount is because there is a procedure that has to be followed. You need to put 14 ounses in each fork, pump it 10 times to realease any oil bubbles then use a fork oil extractor to suck out the excess oil. There is a measurement in the manual
