T500 Fork Level

Post by TLRam1 »

Is the amount you put in 220 cc's for front forks on a T500?

Thanks Dave,

I will be replacing the outer fork tubes....I thought I remember someone talking about a bolt at the bottom or lining it up.

I don't remember, anything I need to be aware of?

Have a drain pan under the forks when you remove the bottom bolt. It usually is an allen head type and you may have move the bottom part like a slide hammer to get the fork seal to let go and let the slide come off the tube. Check for a retaining circlip on top of the seal first or it never will come off.
