Right leg same again.

Had 170cc of dirty oil out of each leg which is good as both legs equal and bad as the notes I have start at 190cc for 55-80kg and 195cc for 80kg upward riders.
Had a quick flush with 50cc of clean then topped up with 190cc in both legs.
I have about 20ml oil left from the 500 I got, so can add more if needed which I doubt if both have been running a 170.

Now have a base line to start with.

All waste oil collected and transferred to a gallon oil container to take to the tip.

Good to hear equal volumes in each - sounds the like the seals should be reasonably happy

@lookitsluke yep seals are good. I used to smear 10wt oil over seals after cleaning and for storing.
At worst the info I am using is wrong and I have now overfilled, this will cause a limit in fork travel, so just remove equal amounts of oil to bring travel back.
Old school tuning, oil height and weight and low pressure air assist. ideally I hit the magic oil volume that stops travel a few mm before bottom out thus never having a mechcanical metal on metal violent bottom out, the rear shock has a dense rubber bump stop limiter, forks do not.

Mostly been pulling pedals apart.
Dmr V8's are easy and just pump loads of grease through as no play on bearings.
The V12 mags are easy to pull apart, not worth the cost of a rebuild kit as bearings good but Bushes worn, if I can find some new bushes it might be worth swapping them out. One pedal cage damaged from rock strike and torn out pins.
Deep cleaning, packed with grease and ready for more hits :)

Turned attention to spare set of wheels.
Rear hub is rough needs new bearings on axel, freehub might be ok.

Inflated a set of spikes. Don't know if these are still made.
Tagged as "FRO lite" For Race Only :) for when the track your racing is wet and fresh new line.
Be hard work on the dressed and well worn bike park tracks.
