Fork Oil Level on 45mm Zokes?

I posted the same thread in two strokes, but thought that some of the older 4 strokes had the same forks.

I've got an 07 WR250 and am changing the fork oil. I was going to measure it on disassembly, but did some dumb things and did not end up with an accurate measurement.

Anyway the book says 3.15 inches from the top with the tubes collapsed and springs removed. This seems too close to the top of the tubes? Should the oil be that high? Any experience out there?

Thanks

It is too close.

The manual specs 80mm but they are too harsh at that level...I run 100-110 mm.

The standard is 7wt...5wt makes them softer for trail work.

I was switching to 5wt, that's what started this inquiry.

Thanks
