MT V3. How much shock oil to put in? do i put it in from the bottom plastic nut? Is there a fill line?
 
No you will fill it from the top. Fill the shock up until about 1/4 from the top move your shaft up slowly to remove any air bubles pull shaft slowly back down then pour in a small amount more. Fill just enouch to allow room for the bubble at the bottom of the shock cap to be screwed back on without any oil spilling out.
 
I fill from the bottom. Remove the lower cap and fill it up to the bottom portion of the threads, then thread the cap in a little, push the shaft all the way in slowly (Fluid will leak, that's fine) and then tighten the cap.
