I have a factory service manual for that bike, if you want I could scan the appropriate page and email it to you, if you want, pm your email address to me.
Otherwise, take the little philips screw out of the bottom of each fork the oil will come out there, under the rubber cap on top is a big allen plug, unscrew that, be careful there is a little pressure behind that. You add some oil complress the fork afew times, and then drain it again, then add more oil, the exact amount escapes me at the moment and put the cap back on, but before you do, add a 1inch pvc spacer on top of the spring, then you can use less air in the forks.
Use 15w or 20w fork oil to get the best dampening.

And when you do the forks .. do them one at a time .. or you bike fall down go boom.

You can do both at the same time, you just have to use a jackstand to hold up the front of the frame. It really isn't that hard.
