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.

remember, you can fine tune rebound a little using different weight fork oils...
