KX80 Question

[PZR]

In my never ending quest to buy old bikes and mess round with them I have a question that maybe someone with a manual can answer.
I am replacing the fork seals and need to know how much fork oil to put back in when Im finished. Its a 1985 Kawasaki KX80 Disc brake water cooled model.
Anyone??????:hug:

Thank you for that Scott thats a big help. My son and I started rebuilding the front end today. A good learning curve for him and a bike that should ride and look better when its done
