Does anyone know the BMW R1250RS esa front fork oil lever/air gap in think the air gap is 65mm left and 82mm right of 10w fork oil, anyone know if this is correct

Typically "BMW Type 2" 11.5W fork oil.

are 290ml L, and 682ml R

Haynes manual indicated 304 ml for the left leg.

 

10w will be a good start but just be sure you get a good brand and what you want as brands of fork oils viscosity’s cst are not  Standard, so for example castrol 10w might be more like Fuchs/silk 5w but a BMWs 15w. so stick to a 10w but note what it was then if it seems to soft or firm and you change setting to compensate and it’s still not you your liking then you might be better looking for a different brand.

look up Peter verdone designs fork oil chart. 


So if you are within that range your ok.
