Title: KX500 Fork Oil Level
Post by: TOF64 on August 17, 2008, 01:37:36 PM

Can anyone help with the correct specs for setting fork oil level on an 01 kx500?  I know it is slightly different for many years and my clymer manual is crazy....It goes thorugh 97 and then nothing?  Help!

On my k5 , 100 mm 5 wt . Most forks start at 100mm oil level ht , another factor is most brands oil wt is different from brand to brand so a bit of testing on the clickers will solve that.
