Why did I have to put 4.2 quarts with an oil filter change to get the correct level on the dip stick? I did not screw the dip stick in to check oil level per the owners manual instructionsand the bike was on level ground.
The 2009 Honda XL1000V Varadero and all other motorcycles made 1894-2023. Specifications. 43mm telescopic fork, 155mm axle travel Fuel capacity: 25.00 litresInvert the fork tubes and pump the tubes up & down to pump the old fork oil out and let drain for a couple of minutes in a drain pan. Add 12.5 to 15wt. fork oil which will be measured from the top of the oil level to the top of the fork leg. (approx. 150mm), it took a little more than 1 qt. per leg on mine. Reassemble the internals and and snug
2002 Honda XL 1000 V Varadero engine running rough - Honda 2002 XL 1000 V Varadero question 2011 Honda XL1000V Varadero fork oil capacity. Read full answer. Be The 1000 has cartridge forks, which means it needs thinner oil than the damper rod forks on the 650. Try 10w. The stock fork oil is more like 7w. 15w is too much with the stock springs, and a little heavy for most people in the 1000 even with better springs. Dealing with rougher roads actually pushes you towards stiffer springs, not softer ones.Fork Oil level (93-94) 509cc (17.2 US ounce) Fork Oil level (95-99) 564cc (19.1 US ounce) More of my notes below:If you have aftermarket fork springs this will be different and you shouldn't really go by the Honda specs once any of the internals have been changed from oem to aftermarket. Then you just use the Honda specs as a starting/referenceIf you’re a young, cash strapped rider looking for a first time adventure, the G650GS will be hard to ignore because of its low running costs, insurance included, and how cheap it is to pick one up. 6.

I was under the impression that you measured the oil level with the springs and spacer in, forks collapsed. gjrS.
