The figure OG has quoted will be allowing for an 'air gap' which will allow room for the oil to move. As when the forks compress the chrome section moves inside the lower part of the leg. Like when you get in the bath. If you filled it to the very top then got in it would go every where.
Well the thing with the forks is they are a sealed system so the spare oil cannot escape like the water in your bath and so the forks will stop moving when the oil runs out of room. Hence the air gap. In theory if you fill the forks fully compressed you would be somewhere near but thats hardly accurate.
thanks for the reply
do i need to compress the forks when i refill the forks and do you know how much of a air gap i should have in the top of the fork?

Thanks for the reply. a yamaha service center gave it to me and he told me if i put a heavy oil in like 15w it could blow the seals.
thanks
