Yes it was hard to find.
CB350 125cc of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
CB400/500/550 160cc of SAE 10W- 30 oil

Page 175 in my Clymer manual.

Now corrected - should have been page 175 (must find my glasses soon  :-[)

Hope this helps.  :)

But that was before you could buy specific fork oil! Use 20w fork oil mate

Is that 160cc in each leg, or 80cc in each =160cc total?

Thanks for the info.
I have a Haynes manual and could not find any reference in that.
Will go for the 20w I think.
Thanks again everyone. :)
