Fork oil level ??
« on: March 24, 2006, 01:14:50 PM »
Anyone know what the fork oil level spec is on a 99 1200 S??? I could only find one at Bill's Blade site, but that bike is a "bugeye" He has 4.2 inches from the top. Anyone know?

In the Member's Section of this BBS there is a "Sticky" topic entitled 400/600/1200 manuals online Please read! - currently, it's the 3rd one from the top.

When I was in high school auto shop, I thought about a career as a Ford mechanic. Being a big Chevy fan at the time, I figured it would be job security.

Ended up in aviation though... aircraft don't get as grimey as cars.
Not as many places to get a job though.
