Hi All
New member to this forum, looks like a lot of good info on here.
I have a question about the volume of fork oil in my forks. I have a 2012 te310 with the open cartridge kyayba forks, the seals were weeping a bit so decided to change them.
I took the fork legs apart to remove the old fork and dust seals ect drained the oil from the leg,I did not take the the piston rod and cartridge out as I didn't think it was needed just to change the seals, I put the whole lot back together. The manual says fill the fork with 674cm3 of oil, problem being that's imposable it wont all fit, then as the manual describes measuring the oil line to the top of the outer tube at a distance of 115mm leaves me with about 450cm3 of oil in each fork so something aint right. Is there more oil in the cartridge and piston ect which is still in or have I completely screwed the whole thing up and done something very wrong.
All advice, opinions and taking the piss greatly appreciated.
