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.

Let customers speak for us
Quality product, fast service. Biker’s toolbox my first stop shop.
Nice tool kit,shipping a little dear -USA. Still nice.
Everything I’ve bought from here has been good quality at a reasonable price and delivered promptly 👍
Had a great conversation regarding my z900 rebuild,very informative
The device worked perfectly monitoring a battery issue that turned out to be due to a newly installed third party entertainment unit. It made it so simple to see what was going on. Worth every penny. I’m sure it will prove invaluable on my bike.
Quick efficient service supplying quality goods 👌
Perfect..
I asked advice from Ralph,before purchase.
I needed a specific set of circlip pliers.
He knew exactly what I needed for the job. They were Perfect.
Job done.
They are smaller than I thought they would be, but they have the levereage and cutting power of anything bigger. An asset to the toolbox, thanks.
It sprays chemicals from its bottle and doesn't leak. It comes in a handy plastic bag and as I bought four, some will be clean until I use them.
It comes in a clever box, with the software separate. The instructions are clear and precise, and I'll be using it in a week or so on my GPZ900r.
Very pleased - the best wiring connections I've ever achieved for my bike
