fork oil level for 08 550?

franknorway · Sep 22, 2011

I must be either f_k_ng blind or dumb, or both. i cannot find the amount of fork oil required for my 2008 550. I searched the database here and my Owner's manual and found nothing. i did, however, find info for a 09 570 and 98 501, but nothing for an 07 or 08 450, 550, or 650--which i assume uses the same amount of fork oil?

Anyone got the info, or direct me to the page in my Owner's Manual,

Thanks FRank

Hi Frank

my 12mmm rod forks (08) needed 650ml each leg to get around 100mm air gap

prolly best to start by setting the air gap at 140mm or so and add oil *** needed

cheers

Thanks very, very much Bushmechanic!

By the way, am i blind, or is there a fork level/air gap written somewhere in the Husaberg Owner's manual that i somehow missed?

thanks, frank

No worries Frank

yes there is a level somewhere in the manual, FWIW it gets a bit of an oil lock feeling around 100-90mm and more than 150mm air gap is probably a bit silly but it does work

cheers!
