[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1157233, member: 18302"] When you measured the 4" from the top with the new oil in, was that with the forks compressed all the way? Also, you should probably slowly stroke the fork a few times with the springs out and the caps off so that any air bubbles rise to the top and so that the oil gets everywhere it needs to go. Not doing this may have resulted in too little oil. Is there any pre-load on the fork springs? About 10mm should work well. There should already be pre-load spacers in the forks. These fit between the bottom of the cap and the top of the fork spring. If your bike did not have them in, you may need to make some. Be sure to account for thickness of the fork cap, though. While you can use the air valves to stiffen the fork, this is not usually desireable. It makes the forks less compliant on the initial part of the travel. It is usually best to get the correct spring for your weight, and then fine tune with oil level, spring pre-load and oil weight. [/QUOTE]
