    Ohlins fork oil - how much to use?

    Hey guys, I have a 06 RMZ250 with Ohlins... how would one find out the measurements for how much oil the forks require??

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated

    Robert just did the vintage Ohlins I got for Rachel's CR. Did a fantastic job I must say.

    ohlins

    Talk to robert, but application, trail and error. If he has done them before, fork level at present would be important. An understranding of what the fork will do when you add or remove oil also.

    Awesome cheers for all the advise! What I'm after is just the oil height measurement on these certain ohlins, I'm happy with everything else but I didn't buy the forks they came already on the bike and have been leaking... new seals are sorted but I have no idea what the oil height is meant to be? :S

    ohlins

    From what I heard ohlins use two types of oil. One for the inner frok chamber and a different one for the outer.
