Re: Fork oil drain screw?
nope, the bolt on the bottom is for the damper rod, you have to remove the forks to drain them.
remove forks remove top cap remove spacer and washer remove spring (oil will come out with the spring so make sure you have a covered area to work on) turn forks up side down compress the fork leg over and over again then compress and leave up side down for all the oil to drain some people then wash them out, i didn't party because i didn't know what to use |
