[#5623479]

Just done a lowers service on my mates Fox 32 R forks and didn't quite keep the fork upright during the procedure - and there seemed to be a hell of a lot more than the 5ml of oil lost out of the fork before I lcleaned them and put in 5ml in each side , as instructed by Fox . Concerned his fork might be running dry and dont want to give it back to him unless its sound. Will I have to disassemble and somehow put more oil in ? If so how , and where ? . Have done lowers services before and not seen this much oil lost.
Anyone help?

Sound like your talking about the 5ml float fluid? Theres other oil in your fork.... My dinners ready now so will leave it to someone else to explain

Which year etc?

5ml is usually for the air chamber. My 2011 Fox FIT RLC take 20ml in either leg as stanchion lubrication for example...

Doh - was not looking at the detail of the fork - it's an open bath R 2010 140mm fork so from the Fox info it should actually take 160ml in damper side as oil bath and 30ml in spring side. That's more likes it I think ! Apologies for the stoopidity!
