To save me firing up the old PC that is hidden in the spare room, then digging out the CD ....I thought I would just ask first. :roll:

So my Japanese is wanting a little but it says:

Fork Oil 10 weight - 345cc per leg
Hold the front fork in a vertical position and adjust the fork oil using the special tool (yeah right! a piece of rod with some tape around it) to get a Oil Level air gap of 104mm (NOTE: When adjusting the oil level, remove the fork spring and compress the inner tube fully).

Hope that helps,

Rob
