Did a service today on the bike and not sure how much hub oil to put in?
The manual doesnt give quantity and it seemed as though I barely got 1 Oz. in each hub. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What a bear of a tune-up! Took me half a day to do it.

If you put the filler hole at 4 or 8 o-clock and put the oil in easy, keep doing it until the oil spills out. It will be just over a ounce at each side.

I thought it was 3 o clock/9 oclock or half full???

I tend to run mine a bit on the full side, but not too full or it could build excess pressure when expanded.

It will also burp and slop so what I do is fill in the upright position and rotate to drain out excess.
