cc to fl. oz. conversion

[Steve Minor]

Can someone give me a conversation from cc to fluid ozs. (or vice versa) and also tell me the proper amount of fork oil for my 35mm Marz forks. I seem to recall 280 cc per leg..?

Also, any comments about fork oil weight would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Good question. Sometimes we just forget all the stuff we were taught in school. Except Sally, Suzie, Mary ...  Anyway, here is a site I found that answers all that.

Hope this will help.

OK Sorry, I meant it would answer the conversion question

There is a cool thing you have to have called a Ratio Rite.  Most motorcycle dealers can order one if they don't have it.  It is a little plastic pitcher that has different gas-oil mixtures marked on one side and on the other it has oz and cc.  Cool deal and helpful with modern and vintage bikes.

I use a glass baby bottle, works great.

Steve,
I like this site, lots of interactive tables to use:

FYI: one ounce(fluid) is 29.57cc.

Also, the next time you go to the doctor, ask them for a handfull of one or two ounce syringes.  They work great for measuring out fluids and even cc'ing heads.

I'm not sure if you got a reply to your original question: how much oil?
I rebuilt a pair recently and this is the advice I received from Mike Lenz: Forks compressed, No springs: oil 6.5" from the top. If they botton at this level, go to 6.25" from the top and continue at .25" intervals until they rarely bottom hard.
I did mine with 20 wt. fork oil at 6.25" from the top and they seem to work well so far. (I weigh 160lbs. and ride at an intermediate level; the bike will be used mostly for fast woods riding)
I use a turkey baster, some gas line an old spoke and some zip ties for a depth measuring tool, by the way.
I'm sorry but I dont know what the recommended capacity is in cc's although that would be a lot easier than the depth measurement method.
By the way, I always understood 1 oz. to be 28.5 cc's/ml's.
Hope this doesn't come too late to assist.
Mike
