    Hi - just put new seals in the forks on a 1999 Trident 750, but can't find the oil level or volume required to refill them?
    Googled it, emailed Triumph UK, left messages with the local dealers, to no avail.

    Would anyone know the answer, or have a manual etc?

    many thanks!

    Many thanks for the info. Looked on the Silkolene oil selector and it says 2.5 weight... Couldn't find any so bought 5 weight :expressionless:.

    Guess it's going to take about 500ml a leg?

    Thanks for that both.
    Where is the VIN number? On the logbook, iron the bike?
