We get a lot of people asking us for technical advice on the Beta, one of the things we commonly get asked is about the fork oil level, to keep things simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2009 – 2017<\/strong> Beta Evo, 120mm air gap spring side, 60mm damper \u2013 pump the damping rod to fill the chamber before measuring. Spring out, fork legs fully compressed. 5w oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2018 – 2023<\/strong> Beta Evo, 130mm air gap spring side, 65mm damper \u2013 pump the damping rod to fill the chamber before measuring. Spring out, fork leg fully compressed. 5w oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The above was the advice given to us by the UK Beta importers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is better to set the air gap, rather than using a quantity of oil when rebuilding the Beta forks as it is difficult to get all the old oil out without fully dismantling the forks and the damper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The air gap is measured from the top of the oil to the top of the fork stanchion for the right hand fork leg, the one with the damper in it, this is with the forks bottomed out and the damper as far down as it will go, to do it properly you need to undo the top cap off the damping rod so the damping rod can be pushed all the way down.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRight Hand Leg (Damper Side)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
