Monster 900 Fork Oil Volumes

Ok ppl......I have as spares, a set of Monster 900 Marzocchis, with funny blue plastic adjusters as shown in the pic. Can anyone tell me the correct oil volumes to use? None of my manuals seems correct...they all suggest 439cc in each leg, but I cant get more than about 250 in............help !

Umm i hope they are not going on the DD bike david, look rather adjustable to me!! Ummm i smell a rat!!

And as for getting more oil in you need to eqalize the volumes between the stansions and the sliders, so put your hand on the top and then pump up and down and it will go down...then keep topping it up!

Have fun!

390cc
level air gap 90mm
Marzoc carb models.

Strange you can only fill to 250cc
are they the later IE forks ?
if so, they may be the polini type forks.

I couldnt get that amount in Steve, in the end I drained both, measured what came out after leaving them to drain for 3 days, then divided by two.....and the amount was 337cc, so thats what they now have !
