How much oil goes in each leg???

Getting back on task....the recommended way to add the proper amount of oil to the forks is to pour the fork oil into the tubes, with the springs REMOVED, until the oil is 75mm (2.95 inches) from the top of the fork tube.

I measure this distance with a steel ruler, the end being firmly attached to a large pair of vice grips (keeps me from dropping the ruler into the fork tube).

IHTH!

What angle are you supposed to hold the fork tubes, while holding the ruler, while holding the oil bottle?

So, she grabs a clothespin, cuz its stout enough to hold the ruler & it's in her mental arsenal of tools.The guy who posted used vise grips, sure, works great, no slap down anywhere. just noting the different approach to solve the same problem.Had to smile reading this. I have to admit, I think I could do the job more easily after reading Sparkettes approach.
