    I did some searching here and did not come up with anything. I need to know how much fork oil to put in my forks. I do not have a book for the bike and don't plan on getting one. So if anybody knows I would appreciate the info. I will post a couple pics of the progress I am making with the bike shortly.

    Still gotta do some cutting on the frame and add some frame to the front of the bike to add forward controls. I have an idea that I think will work. I will add some pics as I go.
    Here are some pics I just added here on 7-15-10 Got these rims from my friend who is parting out an 80 xs400. I like the look!

    The book calls for 263ml (9.3 Imp Oz or 8.9 US Oz... seriously guys, get with a system of measurement that makes sense!!!)
    I don't have a 'book' either, but with a very (very) little bit of searching you can find it for download. ^^
