Hi, the size I got was 33/46/10.8 from eBay. The full description was "Front Fork Shock Absorber Oil Seal 33x46x10.8mm for Suzuki GN250 Honda CA250" - although my forks don't match either of those bikes (being eBay, the description may not be accurate!).
Hi, I couldn't find the exact value for my forks but after looking around I believe the value is between 150/225 ml oil per leg. As I wasn't sure I aimed around the middle value. The main thing is not to put to much in as it needs space for enough air to be compressed. Another way of setting it is the distance from the oil level to the top of the fork. If you haven't taken yours apart yet, measure this and make sure you refill to at least this level.
Fyi , I just did a set of these, the less leaky one gave 300ml of oil, so I put 320ml of 5w oil in each leg and they feel great ! And no more leaks 👌👌👌
Vince at Tbolt had me use 225 ml, for my VS1 Forks, 225ml each fork, (140cc bike). I don't think it has to be exact, not positive though. I realize the op is a year old, I say this for newer readers. I watched a video on SSR forks, they are much simpler to rebuild, not that these are complex, but I'm having a hella time with mine, for anyone that has never done this, there can be a lot of mysteries. I believe the stock weight oil is 10w, I'm just under 130lbs, so I'm going to try 5w.
As usual the answer is vice grips 😂 I spent forever trying to figure out how to get the rod out before coming to TH-cam.
hey thanks for this vid it's helping me rebuild Apollo 250 forks
Great video, thanks. You left out the most fun part, getting that part you slide hammer out, back in 😅
That's exactly my problem do you know how to do it?
You need to use a piece of pipe that fits over everything but also fits inside the fork tube, then just hammer in until seated.
@@enduroboi6780 hi, could you explain a little better? what do you mean over everything?
any idea how to take the bottom section apart?
Hi, I didn't take it any further apart than shown so not sure how to do the rest.
Can you tell me the fork seal sizes ( i have the sama forks)🙂

How much oil goes into the legs please?

@@CH-jt4ii cheers mate.
I haven't stripped down yet. I was thinking about 15w

Glad to hear it went OK. Thanks for the update on the oil value.
