Fork Oil Filling Quantities (per side)

In the charts you will find a summary of the fork oil fillings of various models.

All data without guarantee.

Footnotes:

  1. Wet means on an oil change.
  2. Dry means, the fork was completely disassembled, cleaned and dried.
  3. Fork oil level is determined from upper edge of fork tube (Refer to manual for exact procedure)
  4. These models have drain screws. Despite this fact the manual speaks of complete removal and upside down draining of the fork tubes. (Refer to manual for exact procedure)
  5. Fork has no drain screws. Disassemble fork for oil change. (Refer to manual for exact procedure)
  6. The manual does not specify "dry" capacities, but gives the same capacities for oil change and complete fork overhaul.

PanAm Clean-Funnel
PanAm Clean-Funnel
A good funnel is a must have in any workshop when it’s time for an oil change or a refill. The annoying part of these jobs was to stow away the oil dripping funnel into a dark corner where you would find it a few months later contaminated inside-outside with dust, bugs and other debris. The PanAm funnel puts an end to this problem because it features screw-on caps at the top and bottom which can be removed for action and which keep the inside of your funnel perfectly clean during storage. The flexible spout makes it more versatile as it allows to direct the funnel tip in tight spots.

Bel-Ray Fork Oil
Bel-Ray Fork Oil
So it’s that time again – the fork oil needs to be changed.
But why, actually? Because, like any oil, it wears out and over many kilometers on the Harley loses its good properties. Fork oil not only lubricates and reduces friction, it also controls compression and rebound. Even though manuals recommend checking only every 20,000 km, fork oil can be quickly replaced with the right tools, giving you the certainty afterward that the telescopic fork works as it should.
Our Bel-Ray fork oil demonstrably reduces friction – thanks to specially developed additives that improve response and relieve stress on the fork mechanism.
The available viscosity grades allow practical tuning:
We recommend Bel-Ray 30W for forks originally filled with SAE 50 engine oil (FL up to 1977)., We recommend Bel-Ray 20W for all other forks and for riders who prefer a firmer response., Bel-Ray 15W to replace the original fork oils Type B/E.,
Bel-Ray fork oils are mixable with each other, allowing custom viscosities to be achieved.
