    I've replaced the seals in the front forks of my 1976 wr360.
    Can someone tell me how much oil to put in and what is the procedure. In from the top or the bottom? How many ml. or do you measure while the forks are in the bike or on the bench?

    Thanks in advance

    Earlier type forks...I'd start with 210ml of 15wt fork oil and work from there.

    I've just finished restoring a 74 250 and mine feel a little soft just yet. I'm gonna try another 20 ml in each leg.

    Good luck with it :thumbsup:

    Forks always off the bike & upright, springs removed and tubes compressed. Measure oil height from top of fork tube

    Will need to do something about the rears now. They are shot.

    As I dig deeper, It looks like this bike had a hard life!
