01 Z3 Coil 100, Decrease travel after oil change............ (2 posts)
|  01 Z3 Coil 100, Decrease travel after oil change............ | PJD
Oct 18, 2002 11:13 AM | | first oil change on fork. I routinely get about 85-90mm travel on my rides. I change oil for the first time. I can't physically depress the fork more than 80mm.
I double checked the oil height, it's as specified by Marz. I took a little out, thinking it might be hydraulic lock (like what happened to my Forx Vanilla 100R), that helped a little bit, I can depress it to 90mm now.
But I'm not sure if I should ride the fork with low oil, or if there is something else I need to do.
I've torn down an rebuilt my other Z2 and previous Z3, and have never have this problem.
Any input would be great.
TIA

| oil too high... | TC
Oct 18, 2002 1:50 PM | | The recommended oil levels of 35-40mm seem way to high for me to get full travel and i weigh 200lbs. i use 45 mm with no problems at all. this is the same level i use in my '01 Xfly100 and '01 Z3 air. as long as the level is over the rebound damping intake ( and 45mm is above that level) there should be no problems. |
