Hi, does anyone know the correct amount of fork oil to put into the front fork for FZ1 2009 model according to the manual?? Is 15W good enough??

Each fork takes 545ml according to the manual so you'll need slightly more that 1 liter. The other measurement that you need to concern yourself with is fork oil level which is 91mm from the top of the outer tube, with the outer tube fully compressed and without the fork spring. As for oil weight they call for 01 weight Yamaha oil, which works out to about 5W fork oil. I think 15W might be too much. If you want to increase the dampening a bit try 7 or 10W oil instead.
