Title: 1983 KL250 FRONT FORK OIL CAPACITY
Post by: ghostrider on March 27, 2010, 10:05:29 pm

 Can anyone please help me with oil capacities for the front forks on an 83 kl250 ? I have a local "[expert] " telling me that the left & right forks have differing capacities (WTF ???) I cannot understand why this is so,or if at all this is  correct

Hi, I can only find the oil capacity for an 84 C2 model but I think they had the same forks as the 83 model.
They hold each side 259ml or oil level is 255 from the top spring out fully compressed.

Hope this helps. Stan.
