For reference on C10 fork oil measures recently:
On C10 early forks normal oil level is approximately 14 inches at full extension per factory. This results in a 6.5 inch measure compressed approximately.
The following is a result of other comparisons:
On same fork 13" extended is to 6" compressed.
12.5" extended is to 5.5" compressed for further comparison.
The more oil in fork to a max of 5.12" (from Race Tech tuning manual) would control last 1/3 of fork travel and limit brake dive according to Race Tech. My choice was to use 5.5" as my limit as I did not want to shorten fork travel by hydro locking fork in compression too early.
I am currently using 5.5 compressed/12.5 extended to control brake dive as fully as practical. Air assist is disabled by plug of balance holes. I am very happy with the current result.
This measure point might not be for everyone as brake dive preferences are subjective as is suspension feel. But for my road conditions I like it very much.
