ntv 650 fork oil

[mick]

Hello all. how much fork oil goes into a 1994 ntv650. And can it be measured from the top of the tube

Thanks.

Hi Mick, yes measuring it from the top of the tube is the specified way. For levels please see this thread.

Thanks for that, I had been reading that thread but it gave different levels for different models. JKMPST do these letters refer to the age of the bike or are they model numbers ?.

Hi Mick - A '94 NTV650 is an NTV650P

Thanks for that Tweaker, Does the P refer to the GB registration system ?. I'm from Ireland and we work to a different set of rules.

No, it is the Honda model number for the bike. There is a sticker on the rear mudguard under the seat which will have the letter on.

A previous post gave details of how to decode the VIN if you are interested

Thanks for that Nick, yes the P is there under the seat. And from that previous thread it gave 123cm as air gap and 466cc of oil, which is 466ml according to the conversion chart. So if that all looks ok to all ? I will go for that.

Thanks to all for the help.

That should be 123mm or 12.3cm. I would use the oil level as the absolute check and just use the quantity as a guide.

Nick, 12.3cm that was just a typing error.
I replaced the seals not so long ago, so the tube may be damaged. The same side as last time is leaking.

Are replacements sold singly or as pairs ?
