why do you need the measurement? they are a common seal for kawasakis same as a klx as for fork oil i use 5w oil and about 600 ml some people will tell you to use a fork oil level tool which basically sucks the oil out to a certain level which is about 100mm i dont bother

KX250,
  It is a must to use a quality 5wt shock oil.  Otherwise you will do all that work and then not be happy with how the shock works. That is 300 rand??  Wow! When I was there a rand was about $1.50 CAD. How times change. Can you mailorder from Johanisburg or somewhere where it is cheaper?  Cam.
