Fork Oil Weight & Air Gap. 1977 CB400F
Lynx:
I've been biking 31 years and have always set up my fork oil using the air gap. It is usually quoted with forks fully compressed and springs out. The gap from top of fork stanchion to top of oil. I just use a metal tape measure. Occasionally it is quoted with forks extended. So you need to check for that. Having said all this. I don't know what the air gap is for the 400.
Bryanj:
That's 'cos Honda don't quote it
Bryanj:
If I was still working on the bikes that would be possible, all i have now is my own 500 fours and the ocaisional outsider. Personaly I have never had a problem with pumping out all the old oil and addding the amount shown in the manual from s measuring jug
SteveD CB500K0:
Why don't they put drain plugs on modern bikes.
I have to remove the front wheel and then the fork legs to "drain" my Tiger. I could turn the whole bike upside down I suppose...
Bryanj:
I think its because they don't expect the oil to need changing till the seals go, or was it walruses
