this url will show you an exploded view of the forks, number 48 is a drain
plug, it has a screwdriver slot in it, number 49 is a gasket, there is one
on the bottom of each fork leg.

They were bone dry. Luckily all looked OK, no race or roller damage. I looked for oil drain plug to get old fork oil out. I couldn't see one. I just turned forks upside down and poured out the oil. Is this the normal procedure? It was no problem now that fork was out but, as a standard maintenance item, it seems there should be a plug. Am I missing something? Also, I got the word about using straight 50W oil to refill. Cant find it so far. Will 20-50 work? Thanks --- Sponsor's Message -------------------------------------- Love Food & Drinks?
