[QUOTE="69ST, post: 166989, member: 5"] Dry-fill, after a teardown & cleaning, requires more like 3.5-3.8oz. Optimal fill level takes a little trial & error testing. 7W oil, including ATF, is too thin to deliver adequate damping. IMHO, 15 or 20W works a lot better and optimal fill level (fork leg fully compressed) will be ~2.5" below the top of the fork leg. As long as the fork internals aren't scored & worn, carefully adjusting oil fill level and selecting the right viscosity can make a HUGE difference. [/QUOTE]
