Posted November 21, 200717 yr Hi, I'm new to Yamahas and have recently bought a 1996 FZR600R, the old foxeye model. I want to change the fork oil, can anybody tell me the correct amount and grade of oil per leg? Thanks very much.
December 9, 200717 yr Well according to the service information folder for the 600 R you should put 503 cm3 or 17.7 imperial oz in of 10 wt or equivalent oil. My service folder is a 94 folder but pretty certain its the same for all. Hope this helps.

Ah, I got home and the haynes manual said to use 431ml, which is 101mm from the top of the fork leg with no spring in. 503 would just about fill it to the brim and seems a bit much. Oh well whats done is done, it seems to handle ok
