You're right, it's a KLR, not a rocket. Time to throw some oil in and wrap it up. Rick (drowning in Illinois) A17

(not clymer) 170 +/- 2mm from the top. It's not an exact science. I filled mine while the forks were installed. so, I had an angle fluid level. I suppose if you want an exact level. Forks off bike, fork compressed, spring out. use a contractors level and level the fork. then fill it. hahaha.. Aw, its a KLR. not NASA rocket : ) hahahahaah.. 170mm from top and you will be just fine. You will enjoy those springs also. I havent heard a complaint yet about them. -Mike- ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: k650 To: ramachm12@yahoo. com; dsn_klr650@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 9:50:57 AM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Fork Oil Suggestions I'm convinced the 190 figure was a misprint. Go with 170 as everyone I know that tried it says its better. Walt ----- Original Message ----- Both good ideas. 7.5 inches is 190mm. I am installing proggressive springs. Which is better, 190 or 170 (6-3/4") ?
