Q2 - To change the oil, the menu instruction is to take the whole fork out and turn it upside down... but I also heard that there is a screw under the fork that can be used to drain the oil with forks in place, is this the case for a year 99 curvy? Has anyone done this already?

There is no drain screw, the bolt at the bottom of the fork holds the damper rod in place and also stops the top part of the fork from seperating from the bottom part.
