Does anyone know how many cc's of oil in each leg?
Thank you guys

With the fork tubes compressed without the springs I fill the tubes 6" from the top. I then go ride to see how it feels for me, and adjust accordingly. I use ATF in all my bikes and like the response it gives me. Remember, you are the riders, so it has to feel good for you, not what is good for others.

Thank you skiracer
There was a post 13yrs ago(!) from Rocket with a chart of all/most Penton/KTM fork capacities...

365/390cc 10wt
I would imagine(?) 365 is the min & 390 is the max
I am going to fill w/ 377cc 15wt without spgs & measure to top
THX AGAIN

The two different measurements are whether you actually disassemble the forks completely or whether you just drained them.

The bigger cc is for a total rebuild, the smaller cc is for a drain and refill.
