Not off hand, but I'll look for my manual and edit this post when I find it

Found it.

Oil change; about 300 cc
Completely dry: 327+- 4 cc

SAE 10W20 oil

Oil Level 110 +- 2 mm

Measure the distance between the top of the inner fork tube to the surface of the oil.

how does one go about putting new oil into a set of forks, mine arent holding too well.

have 83 1000 j forks

Release the air pressure, remove the bottom drain plugs and drain out the old oil, remove the fork caps and refill.

A manual is a real good idea, and they are fairly cheap on eBay.

Your sig says you have a CSR 1000, do you have a 1000J also, or J forks on your CSR?

The CSR forks have the axle mounted in front of the fork tubes, while the J (Standard) has the axle at the bottom of the fork tubes.
