There's large nut at the top of each fork... be careful removing them, there's a spring on the other side (in the tubes)!!!!
Loosen the pinch bolts of the upper tree first to release tension on the tubes.
The gear oil amount is stamped on the clutch cover in ML's, should be 650. The only other fluid you can change is the fork oil, and that capacity is 570 ML each leg. Good luck!
The best way,is to drain a fork leg into a container, and measure the amount. however if you cant do that, start of with about 100ml in each leg, test them out, if to soft, you can always add a little more oil. from memory, a 250ml bottle of fork oil was enough to do both legs on most bikes.
If there is no fluid on the fork legs or the wheel the fluid very likely isn't leaking and is OK.
If there is fluid the fork legs need servicing at which time the fluid will be drained and replaced.
