Drain & refill with the specified amount. I don't think there is a way to check it. Are your seals leaking?

You have to remove the top cap and remove the spring.

Go by oil level height, not quantity.

It's all in the Factory Service Manual...

Just checked the fork oil in my 1997 S3T today ...

It was not all that hard to do ...

Was just a "THINK" and "DO" !!!
