I need the fork oil level for a 2001 ZX6R fork. I think the 1997 is 300ml for just an oil change. Does anyone have a manual to check?

I need a manual too.

For an oil change, the 2001 bike takes about 456 mL and the 1997 bike takes about 325 mL.

But you should not use volume to measure the level, because you cannot tell just how much oil is in the fork after you drain it. Instead, use a level gauge to measure the level from the top of the inner tube, fully compressed and without the spring. You want 116 ± 2 mm on your bike.

For the manual, check out this thread.

Thanks. I just paid $10 for a CD manual. I could have got a ZX6R t-shirt instead.

I just poured the oil out into a container and measured the same back in.

you think 02' zx6r takes same amount as 01' mines leaking so can't poor into container and see level?
