  • Rear air shock oil?

    Any body know how much oil needs to be put back in once you've drained them?
    On xj1100 air shocks.
    Thanks

      According to the factory manual, for which I paid way too much for, it says to fill it to the 75mm level (2.95in). It says to use Vernier calipers to measure this. What the base for this measurement is, I don't know.

            Take off the air hose. Take off the thing the air hose screws into. Measure from the flat surface down to the 5w. oil you just put in.
