Subject: Re: Oil into forks with W.P. springs
|I have just bought White Power springs for my '91 A.T.!
|
|On the White Power sheet there is a note about the level of air (160mm)
|without the spring inside when the fork is completely down.
|
|On my service manual there is a note about the quantity of oil (635 cc.).
|
|Do you know the right quantity of oil (SAE 15) to put inside each fork with
|White Power springs?
In my opinion it still the same quantity mentioned in your service
manual. It's 635ccm.
But now a new question to all concerning "this" topic.
At first I only want to change the the oil without changing the spring.
From my Honda dealer I know that the original fork oil is AMF oil and
I know that you can't mix the normal SAE oil and AMF oil.
So here is my question.
Is it enough to just drain the old oil by using the drain screw at the
bottom of the fork or should I unmount the fork tube (Gabelrohr) to
drain the old oil. Is it also necessary to swill the fork tube to clean
the fork tube completely. Is so, what should I use for swilling cleaning
the tube.
