Why do I fukin bother
In all honesty mate,why haven`t you 'fukin bothered' to buy an easily obtainable and not very expensive Haynes Manual for your bike from which you could have found the answer to your question in less time than it would have taken to log on and post your Thread ???

Just borrowed a Haynes from the local library - on page 228 it says 440ml for the right leg and 410ml for the left leg. This should apply to R80GS and R100GS from ´86 and onwards.
On my ´87 monolever the german repair manual says 220ml pr. leg. I use cheap 15w oil fork from Polo-Motorrad and the front suspension works fine

the 'best' oil isn't necessarily the 'recommended in the handbook' oil.....different grades will obviously produce different results......
Get off your
It's getting boring now

JABER..stick 10 grade in each fork..all ok 
Mr Farmer Esq. has posted here before( have a search ) of his special mix blend (one fork for compression and one for rebound btw).
Yup all G/s are as stated above..220 for each leg...I use 10 grade as well.

That depends on how far away his nearest Halfords is - dont it hairy boy?
Now... go back to your polishing duties and have a lie down theres lovely.
Had the question been about the different results achievable via differing grades and quantities,the answer would have been different.
It wasn`t....so it wasn`t.

Halfords ain`t the only place where you can obtain a manual,fella.
Besides....whatever happened to buying a fecking manual in order to learn about and understand your bike ??

Kenny,
It wasn't me who posted the fork oil mix it was Howard Millichamp
Jaber,
Theres a link to the manual on the site somewhere.
I know forkoil about this thread
Oh, I have lots of cheap chainlube too!
Whats a "CHAIN" ??????
how much for 5w oil delivered to Devon ??? 5liters will do
How's £25 for 5 ltr..?
The postage is the issue, maybe a courier outfit would be best? It is Silcolene Pro RSF Racing Fork Oil 5 Wt.
I am very diappointed at the low level of take up of my chainlube offer... Almost no abuse???
If you are going to the Highland Gig you could collect it then. I aim to be fit to go there, as I missed the TT.
