    Does anyone have a base line amount of oil for outside the cartridge 50mm closed cartridge zokes?
    Time to do some service but I dumped the oil without measuring (1 tube anyway).
    Also, what weight fork oil in the inner and outer?

    Thanks

    5 weight and 110mm but you can adjust height clear out to 130mm if you want a softer initial stroke. You can also go 130mm and add 12cc at a time through the bleeder hole, each 12cc will raise the height 10mm

    Just so I’ve got this....you are measuring the oil from the top on the 50mm closed cartridge forks.

    yes, I think it shows you how to make the measurement in the owners manual.

    For what it's worth, I strongly recommend SKF green fork seals, they noticeably reduce stiction and will outlast other seals by a long way. They are more expensive and sold one at a time so make sure you buy 2. (usually $35 each)

    Thanks.
    Yes went with skf seals.
    Got the service done. Overall they were very easy to do. Outer chamber oil was horrible. Inner was fine but I changed it anyway. I went with 280ml of 5wt oil in the outer.

    I'm sorry I misread your first post and thought you had 50mm open chamber Zokes. Going with SKF is a win no matter the forks but my oil level advice was for open chamber.
