Hello Andy,

That should be about 90cc for each fork leg.
I usually put in regular engine oil, SAE 50.

the manual, mentioned above, tells SAE 20 to 40.
But thats the theory, you are the man with the practical experience :)

ciao Joachim

You are absolutely right Joachim, the manual says SAE 20 to 40.
So the 50 grade oil is a little thicker resulting in firmer damping.
But that is very welcome as most of us are heavier then the average Italian rider :kacke:
