I will ... |

Thanks guys, no the forks were COMPLETELY disassembled. Each part was taken apart and cleaned.

I put in 400 cc if I remember correctly...since they were torn down.
How do you measure the fluid level in a K1100RS. The K100RS is easy as you can use a dipstick, but with the K1100, you can not ... |

Thanks for the reply....Not brake fluid....definitely fork. I will attempt a photo tonight.
