    KX80 Question

    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??????
    I'm one of the worlds best riders. I can wheelie, I can stoppie, I can stunt, hell I can get my shoulder down. I could keep up with Rossie if I wanted to race.

    Then I go from bed to bike and somehow it all turns to crap.

    Thanks Scott411
    Wheel sizes are 14" and 17"
    What does that make it big or small?
