According to the clymers manual under specifications the fork oil should be "E" and "F" models 212cc ; or 5.97 Imp oz. The "SF" model ; should be 225cc ; or 6.34 Imp oz. The "G" and "H" models
should be 241cc; and the "SH" and "LH should be 210cc . Viscosity should be 10wt fork oil.
Hope I didn't loose ya there but it's all there. broken down by the manual. Hope that none of these nimbers are typo errors. One thing that I have found out in rebuilding forks is It's not so much the amount of oil used. It's getting the amount EXACT in each fork. If the fork oil is off a little bit it can affect the ridability of your machine. If you bike is an 81s then it would fall into the "SH" area. Good luck.
