I just had a mini hear attack sitting here in my office miles away from the bike and my manual. I reassembled my forks (in a rush, as usual) last night and for some reason it just occurred to me that I measured the oil height @ 150mm WITH the spring guide in the fork. I've not done a million of these, but for some reason, it just occurred to me that the level should be set WITHOUT the guide. Anyone know for sure?
