Pappa Bear Posted March 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2009 When installing the new progressive springs at what point in the procedure does one refill the fork oil (13.5oz.) into each tube? I will be changing seals and all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted March 30, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 30, 2009 Once everything is together except the spring and cap bolt. Put in the oil, drop in the spring and close them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So: There is less space left for Oil. Therefore, you must use Less Oil. About 1 1/2 oz. Less. The Oil level should be set to 5 1/2 Inches from the top of tubes, With the Forks Fully Compressed to the UP position. Check the Instruction sheet that came with your new Springs. Its explained there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
