Setting the fluid level in front forks accurately is critical to the safe handling of your bike and this tool makes it a piece of cake.
The vast majority of workshop manuals will give you an air height for the fluid level ie the measurement from the top of the fork tube to the fluid level often with spring out and the fork at maximum compression. You simply tighten up the setting screw on the aluminium ring at the correct air height, fill the fork tube to approximately the correct height, by eye and then a little bit more. Push the metal tube into the fork leg and suck the excess fluid out using the syringe; when the fluid is at the correct height the syringe will start to suck air instead of suspension fluid. You then move to the next leg safe in the knowledge that both legs will contain exactly the same height of fluid.
This tool is of better quality than the above but not up to the professional workshop version below. As with all tools from Laser Tools it is well made.

Let customers speak for us
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
After having struggled trying to set the pilot air screws on my Suzuki’s carb’s - I saw this recommended in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and it is an excellent piece of kit and well made too.
Excellent quality, first time I’ve used ‘ball-ended’ they were so much more adaptable when trying to access restricted spaces. Well worth it !
The right length, the right colour and with crocodile clips on the ends...
Made the whole job so much easier, using the proper tools for the job gives you a sense of a job well done.
Speedy delivery, as usual, perfect wire for bike re wire, great with tracer colours. Very happy with price and materials. Thanks.
