Kawasaki manuals normally give the oil level distance below the top of the fork tube rather than simply X number of ounces. If you can't get the info from a dealer or someone with a manual and only one leg is leaking, unscrew the cap off of the one not leaking and stick a wire down into the tube, withdraw if and measure the distance from the top of the tube to the oil level. Use it just like a dipstick.





Just be careful when you remove the fork caps because they are under spring pressure. You don't want them to pop off and hit you in the chin. Also keep downward pressure when you unscrew them until they are completely unthreaded because you don't want the spring pressure to push the cap off, damaging the last one or two threads.
that would be fork oil and while you are in the dealers buying it, ask them how much to put in as without a manual i cant be sure
you will need hydraulic fluid check at your m/c shop is best.
