Default Re: Front fork Springs help

You can remove the cap on the top of the forks, this will be under pressure from the spring within. Don't remove both at the same time as the bike will just collapse with no spring pressure and you'll probably have damping oil everywhere.
Once the cap is off you'll find a spacer and a washer, the spring is under them. Just pull the spring out and let the oil drain off.
The only issue is can you get to the fork cap off with the handlebars in the way? It wasn't a problem on my S version with clip on bars but I'm sure you can unclamp the bars and rest them on the tank with some padding.
