Thanks

I'm going to study what you have written and relate it to my bike.
I guess removing the spring is simply a case of undoing the cap and withdrawing it?
Pumping the fork, extracts the oil from the drain screw at the bottom or just tip it out?
Nothing will explode in a shower of springs and clips in the process?

Your link isnt bedtime reading lol.
The manual just states 10W fork oil - So I guess a 1L bottle of Silkolene will do the job?

Just found a youtube of it, well kind of. If only I read Japanese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZJtrW39d1k
