1981 Honda GL 400 fork oil capacity

I have a 1981 Honda GL 400 and need to change the fork oil. I don't have a manual, so am asking if someone could tell me how many MLS of oil I need to use per leg and what air gap is required. Any and all replies gratefully received! Best wishes XXPixieXX@

SOURCE: Volume of fork oil needed per fork for a 1986 VF 400 nc 13

Well, when you take off the fork make sure you empty it first before anything else then make sure that the fork pressure spring is released before changing the seals. The fork oil amount should be no more than 200 cc or no less than 190 cc

Honda GL 400 1981 model - how much fork oil needed and what is the air space required?


Hi Guys,
I know this issues were posted a long time ago, but I am looking for advise here.

I had the gear not switching problem, with my just under three year old Burgman 650 Executive last year. It left me stranded in the motorway near Manchester, UK after paying the local mechanic 200 pounds for a diagnose I decided to transport the burgman back to London another 300 plus 500 repair cost from my dealer. Suzuki paid for the part ( A new gear box), the problem occurred again after a month but went away while at the dealer. Now I am stranded again but now in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and I am really worry that my only solution is to abandon my Burgman. The dealer told me back in the UK that because it was over three years old they didn't expect Suzuki to do anything about it..... Any ideas of what I should do. The local dealer in Amsterdam told me that if they start taking the motorbike apart the cost could go over 2,500 Euros.... Maybe taking my dealer to court is my only option.... How can I prove my case so... Or is it worth trying to do the work myself... I really feel cheated by Suzuki at the moment.....
