KZ1100-A2 Shafty Fork Oil Level

Reaching out to forum members, I've not been able to find any data on the fork oil levels for my 1982 KZ1100-A2 Shaft drive. Can someone refer me to a document somewhere with the relevant data?

Click on the picture of the service manual, and download it. It should have all of your bikes info.

I already have the manual, and it's for a chain drive and not the shaft. There are two oil levels mentioned, but both are for the KZ1000 only. There's no manual online for the KZ1100 shaft drive.

with the springs removed and forks extended you are looking for 470mm for the A model :)

The "two levels" mentioned are likely the result of prescribed volumes for dry vs wet refills.

With correct volume assured, may create a dip stick from a slender wooden dowel to show the correct fork oil level level in the future whereby levels may be correctly maintained with forks extended and without messy removal of springs.

Good Fortune! :)
