Fork Oil for TM250?
« 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?
