Motorcycle Repair: Fork oil, oil seals, fork oil


Question
How much fork oil is needed after replacing oil seals in each fork.  I noticed that you said 200cc was needed but I was wondering if that is for each fork or is that amount for both forks.  This is for a 1966 Honda cl77.   Also is 10 weight the right weight to use.  Thank you so much for your input.

Answer
Mike, the quantity is 200cc per fork assembly, so 400cc total for the bike.

I would use either 10 or 15wt oil in the forks, due to rather poor damping ability.

I have restoration guide CDs available for your model, if necessary. see details at my site.
