Hi guys, just about to change my fork seals and I have a question about the fork oil amount. My bike is a xc150 2011, and the manual says 195ml per cartridge and 370ml for fork leg without cartridge... so what does this mean? It’s my first time doing them. Can someone shed some light on this... also is it as easy once they are rebuilt as just measure the oil and pour it into the outer ? Thanks a lot .... forks are wp4860...

If you are not opening up the inner cartridge and changing that oil (may require special tool to set pressure after), you just empty all oil from the outer legs when you take the fork apart, and last thing you do is fill up with 370ml. Check YouTube.

I followed this exactly, and put in 500ml in each ? Is this correct?(at 12.00 he just pours it in there as I did) Thank a lot https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7KLnarI8yuY

Should be 370 not 500, if the manual says 370...
