Dumb question number 99. It is time to change the fork oil on my Y2K Jackal. The owners manual says 560 cc in each side. Since fork oil comes in 1 liter ...
Hi Dan, Nothing dumb about that question. Air in the fork acts like a spring. The oil level determines the amount of air in the fork. More oil means less air...
