100 ml Graduated Cylinder for Fork Oil

The measuring cups in the kitchen aren’t for bike work — and eyeballing fork oil straight from the bottle is how you end up with one fork stiffer than the other. This is a proper 100 ml graduated cylinder for measuring fork oil to the exact amount your forks call for.

Why You Need This

Fork oil is filled by volume, the amount changes how the front end damps, and the two legs need to match. Eyeballing it gets you a front end that works differently side to side. A graduated cylinder lets you measure the exact amount and pour the same into both legs — a must-have for a front fork rebuild or oil change.

Features

• Clear milliliter graduations for reading the level at a glance
• Class B polypropylene — a sturdy, oil-safe plastic built for the shop bench
• Stable hex-shaped base so it stands on its own while you pour
• Molded pour spout for getting the oil into the fork without spilling

How to Use It

Drain your old fork oil, pour fresh oil into the cylinder up to your model’s specified amount, and tip it into the fork through the top (the spout keeps it clean). Measure the same amount for the second leg so both sides match. Not sure how much your bike takes? Our Maxima Fork Oil page lists the per-leg amount for every model.
