Factory specs for fork oil levels vary among different models.
For example --
Fork oil level per FSM measured from top of tube:
Z1 should be 455 mm, equal to approximately 17 15/16"
KZ900 @ 16.7"
1977 KZ1000 @ 426 mm
1978 KZ1000 @ 420 mm (16.5")
1979 KZ1000 @ 441 mm (17.4")

Would suggest being guided by the FSM as to each particular model.

FSM also provides refill volumes for both wet refills and dry refills.

Good Fortune! :)
