Title: Fork Oil for TM250?
Post by: Simo63 on May 16, 2012, 09:42:52 pm

Okay another question of the brains trust.  How much fork oil should I be putting in the forks of my 1974 TM250?  Eg how far from the top of the leg with the springs out and the fork compressed?

I weigh a bit over 80kgs in my birthday suit so around 90kgs in race gear. 

Any advice/assistance please?

ATF from cheap auto store is around 12.5 weight try anywhere between 150 to 100 air gap.
