Setting the fluid level in front forks accurately is critical to the safe handling of your bike and this tool makes it a piece of cake.
The vast majority of workshop manuals will give you an air height for the fluid level ie the measurement from the top of the fork tube to the fluid level often with spring out and the fork at maximum compression. You simply tighten up the setting screw on the aluminium ring at the correct air height, fill the fork tube to approximately the correct height, by eye and then a little bit more. Push the metal tube into the fork leg and suck the excess fluid out using the syringe; when the fluid is at the correct height the syringe will start to suck air instead of suspension fluid. You then move to the next leg safe in the knowledge that both legs will contain exactly the same height of fluid.
Our experience is that the syringes with this product don't last forever with the interaction with suspension fluid and we would advise you to clean it out thoroughly after use. The syringe can be exchanged for a vacuum brake bleeding tool. The syringes on the professional version last much longer, so if you are stripping a lot of forks it is a better buy.

Used this for bleeding ABS unit BMW K1200s 2005. You can do some basic bleeding by just topping up the 4 reservoirs as you bleed, but you need to get quite a volume of brake fluid going through the ABS systems before all pockets of air are flushed through. The funnel end screwed in ok but didn't seat well and all the fluid leaked out initially. Problem resolved using lots of PTFE tape tightly wound round the rubber ring section that is supposed to act as a seal. This worked very well. I give 5 stars as I would say it is impossible to bleed all the complicated ABS /SERVO unit without this tool and it worked well in the end. Advise not putting too much fluid in initially when testing the seal, as if it leaks all contents will descend onto the ABS unit, then to the floor.
