My friend has an 83 xr200 too, I will ask him to look at his manual tooday. It's not much though, like 5 or 6 ounces if fully disasembled (new fork seals).

Cool thanks.

Please let me know in cc's

I won't be changing seals this time around.

I have a manual sitting around but it is for 84 and newer XR 200's.

Sorry dude, he forgot to bring the book to work yesterday, and he's not here today. I will call him tonight and see if he can look it for you.

Ok, here ya go!

320cc or 11 ounces (half of 11 ounces in each fork) when dry.

Thank you my friend. I owe you one.

I think I might tear into the fork tonight if I get home from work at a decent hour.

I've been cleaning up since that stupid virus outbreak.

Maybe now them damn application owners will listen too me next time I tell them I need to sut their shiat down do apply some patches.

Thanks again.
Wife says the bike feels like a whole different bike with the new fork oil.
