    Default Fork oil.

    I just replaced the fork seals on the wifes cg. And the manual said to put 75cc of fork oil in.
    Er thats 75ml right? Thats just a bit more than a double Jack Daniels. It just does not seem to be that much.
    Do any mechanics on here know if it is correct? It is one of those electric start models.

    I'm not a mechanic, but a cubic cm is the same as a ml. They're both volume measurements, and there's a thousand of either in a litre.

    aye ml = cc but that does sound not much. My bike take 320ml per leg for example. CG probely has smaller forks tho.
