Go by specs.
Additional oil quantity will make for a stiff and hard riding front end.
I did it backward. I put back in what I took out. I figured the factory fill would have to be right. It was a good 2 oz per leg.
I am amazed that the service manual spec could be so far off from the factory fill. And BOTH legs were overfilled by the same exact amount. I always try to do everything right,,,I buy the books,,,read every detail,,,make accurate measurements etc,, and you wind up with these crazy mis-matches and puzzles.
I really can't tell if the bike rides hard because I bought it overfilled so I nothing to compare it to.
Do you think a stiffer front end would give me better or worse front tire traction going over bumps?
