 Does anyone know the correct type of fluid and quantify that goes in the
forks of a disc brake eldo ? I know the 850 T calls for 50cc of dextron
ATF. I tired this, thinking they were the same basic forks, but the front
end bounces up and down and 30 to 60 mph like I am going over speed bumps.
I just bought this front end and installed new dampners, so I do not know
how it rode before. I have just put on a new tire and had it balanced, so I
do not believe that is the problem. Just to rule that out I am going to
swap it out with the wheel on my T bike and see what happens. Any ideas ?

The drum brake calls for 160 ml of fluid. I use 140 cc of 20 W fork oil
with 20cc of Slick 50.
