Hey All, I am getting 2007 springs installed in my 2006 forks. What is the oil level required? I have found 2 answers so far. 18oz each side and 16 oz (from the manual). But does the fact I am putting the springs in a different fork make a difference? | ||

Actually, there also seems to be a discrepancy between he distance of the fork oil from the top of the tube. 192mm vs 172mm. Can anybody shed some light on this? | ||

2006 Ulysses: Single Rate fork spring 39 lbs / in Oil level 113 mm from top with fork fully compressed (+ or ' a few mm ideally) 2007 Ulysses: Triple Rate fork spring 39 lbs / inch up to 3 inches of travel 59 lbs / inch from 3 inches to 5.4 inches of travel 84 lbs / inch from 5.4 inches to 6.5 (bottomed) Oil Level 172 mm from top with fork fully compressed (+ or ' about 8 mm no problem) | ||

Thanks for that. The manual does say 192mm for 2007 I don't know where the 172 comes from, but it does say + or - 8mm so I think we are going to go 180mm to get some where in the middle. Cheers. | ||

Go by what the manual specs it to be. I just copied and pasted that whole thing from a Badweb search on fork oil level. | ||

Use the 07 manual for the 07 springs. The ONLY change (parts-wise) from 06-07 was the springs themselves. Did the swap on my bike a couple years ago, used 07 fluid levels...verrrry happy  |
