I know mine have the exact perfect amount. They dont leak as much as everyone says, they say that because of only a couple people who had problems and just overly complained.
Mine are rolling strong too.. first generation forks.... I beatem up pretty good.. no big air.. but I punish them enough.. no leaks. had tehm for about a year
LOL, ya know, its kinda starting to look like, all this trash talk about SP-5's being so leak prone, is a bunch of bullsh!t lol, kinda like I figured to begin with.
ive never had aftermarker forks except for my stratos forks and i rode my friends sp 5's and they were ok didn't c any leaks but personaly dont like the xr 70 fork all the companies offer but it all depends on ure riding style and budget. I LIKE STRATOS THOUGH
i sell a set of those a week and i have never had a customer bring them back or even order seals. plus now they come with silver clamps aswell so they are really flying off of my shelves.
I actually used to run almost 4oz. of fork oil in each leg, 1/2 oz. over recomended, on my old BBR's and the seals still hung tough .... And I weight 175 lbs.
