This kinda goes along with seal replacement....but does anyone know if the oil can be changed and replaced without removing the forks?I have a front stand with center pin that will raise the wheel off the ground.Thanks all!Ride safe...it's getting CLOSER!!!!

No, blue. Then you need to hold the sanction tube from spinning if you drain from the bottom. That means, remove wheel to look under the fork bottom and now do you have a long enough tool or can you break the top cap nut loose and turn them upside down to drain.

It's the quickest, easiest way. Plus, you can evenly pour the whole container of the recommended oil, split the content in half and it works out what you poured out; pumping the forks [dry] and everything.

Okay...BTW...Hey Hub...hope yer doin okay.Anymore fast rides lately ?Anyway...okay...so I need to invert the forks then and just remove top nut and it'll pour out okay?Then just refill with the right amount and replace top nut and forks?Any advice on removing the fork cap?Thanks Bro.

Hey, my front brake now chatters like crazy. I have that warn tire going on, so no, I am pretty much well under 160 these days. Thanks for asking

Take blue type masking tape and wrap it around the soft aluminum cap hex. Twist the upper caps loose before you take the forks out of the steering stems. When you reinstall the forks, tighten the stem bolts first, then snug close the cap nut.

Okay..thanks Hub!Will do.Chatter..geez...again?May be the pads again?.Yer puttin a hell of a load on that front rotor(s) not havin that rear hooked up.
