Fork Oil Level

On all of my current dirt bikes, the fork oil level can be measured and altered to change performance. I even have the device that is used to measure and adjust these levels. The fork cap is removed along with the fork spring. I think the fork is collapsed or compressed to bottoming. Then held straight up vertical and the fluid level measured through the top of the tube and either added to or sucked out. Does anything anywhere tell what the level should be for fork fluid on the Hawk forks? All I found in the manual whas the amount to add after draining. I just want to check and adjust as needed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need the "air gap" for the forks. A quick search turned up This Thread
