My query is the fork oil capacity in my Haynes manual is @ 530ml with a 100ml air gap to the top of the stanchion. When I have refilled again today I have used over 600ml [roughly measured by the oil bottle] to achieve the correct air gap.

Finally, the best modification done to this BMW G650GS was the addition of GIVI hard cases. The two cases have a 41 liter capacity each, which is plenty for two people to go on a weekend getaway. You can get GIVI brackets for the G650GS from Carpi Moto, which despite being based in Italy still delivers to North America within a few days.
. The higher the fork oil level, the more resistance to bottoming (inner fork, air compression). I had to replace my fork tubes on my 7/00 2001 F650GSA. The part # from BMW is 31 42 2 345 376. This is the same part # used for the pre GS F650's. The fork tubes are identical in dimensions, except the fork caps are different.
Re: fork oil capacity. « Reply #1 on: August 21, 2020, 20:03:01 ». 530ml oil per leg - which should give a gap of 139ml. I was told by the shop I was buying my fork oil from that they would just use 500ml as the oil comes in 1ltr bottles. (I bought 2 bottles and set it as per the book). Also remember fork oil is not standardised so 10w of one
#1 · Sep 18, 2006 Hi I am going to do my Fork Seals this weekend. I am buying " FORK OIL HEAVY DUTY 10W ", how many (1 LITRE) bottles do I need to buy. Thanks KiwiBob :wall: BMW 1996 White F650 Funduro, Touratech Aluminium Sump Guard, Hepco & Becker Engine and Tank Crash/Protection Bars Black,
Joined Sep 2009. Posted September 1, 2010. There were two concerns: in each fork leg there was ony about 250ml of oil; the manual states 450ml for each leg. Yes, big joke from your BMW factory. On my model, 1969, and judging from posts over the years, there sometimes was a plastic "bottle" inside each fork stantion.
Start the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes to fill up the oil filter. Then turn the bike off and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to let the oil drain back into the sump. Then add oil slowly until it's about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up the sight glass. Go for a ride and then be sure to check the sight glass again the next day and top off
