Been working on the 04 BCR. Got the Ohlins reinstalled and took it out for a test ride. The front forks seemed to have a stiction problem. Took them apart and found everything slides well and is straight. Also there was 160ml of oil in the leg. Looking over everything I noticed these legs don't have the displacement tubes. So looking at past threads it seems at some point BMW did away with them and changed the oil quantity to 470ml. This is not ever confirmed anywhere in the manuals but seems right compared to my other R1150R manual. Also in the past threads it says it might be better to just measure down to the oil height but never gives what the correct height should be, anyone know??
Also when do you put the air-valve back in the top, with the front tire off the ground or weight back onto it??
