Fork noise

[kinnet]

Obviously, it can be done either way. What it boils down to at this point is how much work do you want to do?

I say leave them on, let them drain over night, then measure the fluid ounces just a hair under the 5.17 if you're nervous about it.

Ya .. I have replaced just the fluid too .. and did just that left about 1/4 ounce out ..

Yah...some latex gloves are handy. If you get that crap on your hands, it will be a while before you get the stink off..

Hi,

My little story is here:

Install Progressive Fork Springs (pdf file)

It should get you familiar with the concepts. I took the fork tubes off, drained them, rinsed them with mineral spirits, drained them again, put in new oil and reinstalled.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Thank you so much, i tried to find a guide on just changing fork oil on your site but couldn't find one. I didn't know how in depth you'd go with this one because i have never done this before

Thanks

I'm certain that once you've changed it you'll look back and say, "That was easy!"

If I can do it, you definitely can.

[KitKat]

ok haha

thanks for the reassurance

I am going to hold of on doing the forks until i get my new petcock, and clean out my carbs which i am in the process of doing right now
