sorry so late i actually had to do some work today lol Riders tip of the day; front fork oil change place a drain pan near the drain plug by the bottom of the fork. this may get a little mess because of pressure in the fork... let it drain slightly then sit on the bike like you were to start it apply the front brake then push on the handlebars to force the oil out. once your done with the first side put the drain plug back in and torque it to 15 inch lb. when you have both sides done jack up the bike to where the front wheel is off the ground. this is so you take most of the pressur off the spring. remove fork caps inspect the oring. if the oring is torn or it looks bad change the oring to avoid the chance of a leak. you can pull the springs and clean them at this step. this is optional. next fill each fork with the appropriate weight fork oil (this can be found in your owners manual). also the correct amount (also found in the owners manual) replace the caps and torque to 22-58 foot lbs lower the bike and apply the front brake and jounce to push oil and create some pressure. make sure you have the right rebound and your not bottoming out. again sorry for the late post (Iyc)
