    Haven't purchased any yet.
    I have both of the oils you mentioned above.
    When you say forķs fully compressed, do I need to put a load on the front suspension.
    If you do that, you'll never get it back up on your own.
    Bike on centrestand, and the stand tied forward (or braced from the rear) so the bike can't roll off.
    Fork caps off, remove the springs, hoist the forks upwards with a ratchet strap tied to the roof or an engine crane or the yokes.
    Measure oil level.
