WR450 fork oil

[Mike WyethMember]

Does anybody out there know how many mls of oil to put back into each fork leg?:unsure:

Should be in the manual, I`m presuming ya don`t have one though, approx 4.5ltrs at a guess,,,,,
Someone on here will know for sure;)

The manual only gives you oil height. On my 04 model with 46mm forks, 550ml per fork leg puts you about 110mm oil height, which is middle of the height range, and works well….for me anyway. I use auto transmission fluid, which is about 7-7.5 W.

Ring 02 95435133 Battyes Bikes, ask for Fathead (no gee up ask for fathead) tell him you are an Old Bull and you live in QLD ask him, he will help you

Thanks for the info guys, I thought it was 5-600mls per leg but after the mishap on last weekends ride where the fluid started pouring out from the allen headed plug on the bottom of each leg, I thought i might have filled them up too much :unsure: but I think it was more likely that the plugs were’nt tight enough:angry: out with the rattle gun this time;)

[Mike WyethMember]

Thanks TB, I will give that a go tomorrow as I’m a bit concerned with using a rattle gun to tighten them up again:)

Mike, Why did you take out the plugs in the bottom? Did you redo the shims? You should only need to unscrew the top caps to change the oil.

Mike, give fathead a call at battye’s. He’s just done my forks and they are heaps better. He also reduced the air gap which has made them feel smoother too

Eagle – How the hell did you think you were going to get 4.5 litres of oil in there!! :laugh:

I don`t know man, I think I really meant 0.45ltrs(450 ml) I was tired when I posted & had downed 3 Black cans with a bear on them :silly:

Spoke to fathead today and he gave me the necessary info to do the job Thanks guys.

I was wondering how you get 4.5ltrs of oil in each fork leg as well stevo:laugh: but it’s the thought that counts eh:S

Slug.. I changed the seals because one was weeping when I bought it:P

[GregMember]
