Title: 96b6 fork oil?
Post by: antonovich on October 09, 2007, 07:17:15 PM

As usual searching was not very helpful.  Do any of you guys know how much fork oil is supposed to be in the 1996 b6?  Tomorrow I am replacing the fork seals and installing sonic springs.  Thanks

With stock springs service manual reads;
Capacity (each leg): 521ml = 17.6US oz = 18.3Imp oz
With inner tube vertical and fully compressed and spring removed oil level should be 97mm (3.8 inch) from the top.

Aftermarket springs may be thicker and displace more oil, check installation instructions that came with the springs. I think progressive recommends 5.5 inches maximum oil level.
