Fork Oil Level Tool Gauge

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Nasher, Dec 15, 2018.

  1. All
    Need to make myself up a Fork oil level gauge or tool, one of those with a syringe and an adjustable length pipe connected together to suck out the excess oil.

    I have several large syringes hanging around the garage from my composites work, and lots of different size flexible tube.

    Could someone who has used one suggest what size the metal tube was/is on thiers.

    Obviously it has to be small enough diameter that the oil doesn't just flow back out when you stop sucking with the syringe, but large enough to get some flow.

    Thanks

  2. Hold on a sec... I’ll go and grab my tool!
     
  3. The main tube is about 20mm ID and the small tube is about 4mm ID
     
  4. It’s a Ktec one

  5. Thanks Bettes.

    The 4mm ID of the small tube tells me what I need to know.

  6. Finally got some time in the garage today, one of the things I did was knock up this tool from scrap I had laying around.
