Fork oil amount MK2?

I had a rebuild of the forks on my -79 1000 mk2, but i don´t know how much oil i should add in each leg. If someone who have access to a service manual could have a look i would be very thankful. :woohoo:

come on guys, please please please help me with the forks. I really want to take her on a run before the snow is here :woohoo:

The Kawasaki shop manual for your bike states 180-188 cc of 10W oil for each leg...as for the snow...move south:)

Thank you very much

Some manuals specify 10W20 .

When filled, before installing fork caps, and with forks hanging fully extended (front wheel off the ground), suggest using a wood dowel to measure the actual oil level distance from the top of fork tubes.

Mark the dowel accordingly and keep it, and make a note of the measurement (in case you misplace the dowel or forget what it's for :huh: ) to save in your bike maintenance records, all for future reference when topping up or refilling the forks, or just changing the oil.
