Fork oil again

[Timbox2]

Ive searched and am now totally confused as to the correct oil qty/level for my 05 Tiger.

The Haynes manual says 720cc or 107mm.

Ive got Hyperpro springs and the Hyperpro manual says the level should be 280mm, jeez thats a hell of a difference, what do folks think?

Cheers Kenny,
I emailed Hyperpro in the end and they have sent me a PDF which states that with their springs installed you use 0.5ltr per leg, much easier than measuring. Im assuming that their springs have more coils therefore displace more volume hence the reduction.

Started the strip down this morning at 7am, all finished by 9, not bad for a first attempt. Although the oil was fairly discolored not too much sludge, but with the new oil in I can even notice a difference hand pumping the forks, road test later after Ive done another oil and filter change ready for next weeks 250 mile per day commute :lol:

Ok, so, amazing difference, the old oil must have been knackered, most noticeable thing Ive done to the bike so far, floats over the rough stuff now, it was kicking back a fair bit before, I thought it was just crap suspension, which it still probably is comparatively, but much less so now, good un  :D
