About 8psi. No more, and put it in with a bicyle hand pump or very slowly with a foot pump. Anything bigger with put too much strain on the seals.

In my VFR400 NC30 Haynes manual it actually has the specs for the VFR400 NC21 and NC24 forks.

I seem to remember that they reccomend no more than 5psi, but I might be mistaken. Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
