    Went to my office and found the 86 Tri Z manual:

    For the 86 Z (remember the 85 has thinner forks and 1 inch less travel):

    Recommended Oil- 10 wt or SEAQ # 10 fork oil
    Oil Quantity- 418 cm 3 (14.7 Imp. oz, 13.09 US oz)

    **Oil Level:
    Std: 180 mm (7.09 inches)
    MIN. 168 mm (6.61 inches)
    MAX. 212 mm (8.35 inches)

    ** Front top of inner tube fully compressed without the springs.
