I saw in the manual 274ml so that is how much I put in. I did not know about 288ml I don't suppose it will make much difference. The old oil had gone very,very bad. Evros

Have a look and see what I mean: 1. https://www.tr1.de/technics/service/XV750SE_SM_5G5.pdf Page 347 of the pdf - 278ml 2. https://www.tr1.de/technics/service/XV1000_TR1_SM_5A8.pdf Page 59 of the pdf - 264ml Evros

The first is a 36mm diameter and the latter a 37mm fork. Also, if you're able to feel the difference of 14ml fluid, you should probably NOT ride a TR1, but apply for a motorcycle road racing series. Also depending on your weight and whether you plan to use the air-assist or not, you may want to add even more oil as well. (I've run XS1100 forks in my TR1 for close to a decade now, so I am not sure how much oil I used to use in my TR1 forks, but I think somewhere in the ballpark of 15 percent extra oil.) Cheers, Greg

I never thought to check the seal diameters from the catalogue. In any case, I don't think it is that critical for that quantity. It should be all right. My weight is exactly 1/3 of the tr1!

I did not know which oil quantity was correct but after thinking about what had come out the tubes, I decided that whatever I put in would be an improvement! It is impossible for me to gain weight. I have tried.
