Bottom of right fork (when sitting on bike) or left fork (when looking at bike from front) there is are pinch bolts at the bottom of the fork.

My bike is a later curvey so only has one.

Would that be the bolts at the bottom of the forks that pinch the front spindle.

Just checking as the two quotes above are so different I thought I might be getting confused.

Hi TSM,

I thought he was referring to either the bottom yoke bolts or the fork oil draining bolts. I will check the spindle bolts again just incase...

What you are refering to as fork oil draining bolts, i beleave they hold something inside the forks down in place (someone, what is this peice called?). My ones have a allen key head when i looked.

Advice given IMHO

Yup, those'd be the damper rod retaining bolts that are being referred to as drain bolts there, if I'm following this right. Which I'm probably not, I wasn't earlier Undoing them isn't a very good idea.
