Whoa......i must be getting old...possibly alzhiemers ! I looked at your post and then opened a program called "convert" which converts various measurment of weight, distance, etc. I was going to enter 166 mm as you said and convert it to inches. the program opens up with the last conversion you did still entered. I haven't used it in a long time. So i open it and entered already is 166 with the "input" field set to mm and the "output" field set to inches !!! I must have read this in my manual long ago and converted it already ! Geez.......i better get a brain scan done. :-D

Anyway, i recall looking at the manual and something about that section was confusing and i don't recall what, but i figured i'd ask and see if anyone here knew. Anyway, 166mm converts to about 6.5".

So lemmie get this perfectly straight..... when they say forks fully compressed i assume if i remove the caps with the bike on the ground (not on jack) they should be fully compressed and then the oil should be 6.5" below the top of the fork where the cap would be while sitting on the bike to keep it straight up, correct?
