    Quick help please?

    Any body able to tell me the air gap, springs removed, fork fully compressed for an XL650 VY, 2000 model?

    It's in my Haynes, at home, but I need to run via the bike shop on my way home to have the fork oil weight increased before this weekends Tarenig rally, to try to bodge over the bottoming out.

    Thanks all......

    If I've read my manual correctly it says Fork oil level = 141mm. Measured from the top of the tube with the leg fully compressed and the fork spring removed.

    Hope that helps

    Mine says the same...........doesn't seem to mention air gap specifically

    but I assume you can work it from there?
