Fork oil change.

Post by FRYSPEED »

Ive got 04 kxf250 forks on my hybrid.I want to put in fresh oil.Do I undo caps tip them upside down pump plunger and that will drain them.Or is it more difficult to drain the bladder type of fork???Also when I put in fresh oil in with this type of fork do they bleed easily???Dont need new seals just want fresh oil.They are unmodded.

I think that will work. You may want to let them sit awhile upside down in a bucket to drain a little also.

It might take along time that way...
there's a link somewhere about inverted fork tear down, I'll try to dig it up.
