i'm pretty sure its 424ml =/- 25ml just done mine :-) if you are completely stripping and rebuilding i think its a bit more. its in the manuals on the site http://www.zxrworld.co.uk
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

the H has 421 dry or 355ml when just changing oil, so maybe go for the 358ml mark?

do forget deisels excellent guide to fork rebuild! worked fine for me, but i did need a rattle gun for one of the leg bolts.

on the subject, would anyone know if the sp forks would require a different amount of oil? with the different internals and that
