Does anyone have the official BMW fork oil volume and air gap for a 2016 RS with ESA. I have not been able to find the OEM service manual, so I am using the Haynes one.
Their volume spec for the ESA fork is about double (304ml) of what I drained from the ESA fork (155ml). The air gap they spec is 65mm. Adding fork oil to get
a 65mm air gap takes about 160ml, which corresponds to what I was able to drain. So Im guessing that the Haynes volume spec is wrong.But before I reassemble the fork
I wanted to canvass the forum to establish what is listed as a spec/procedure in the OEM manual. Thanks.
