Is this a major undertaking?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #189802 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1736 Re:front shock adjustment 3 Years ago   You need to measure they make a tool. You use a brake line or similar with a milk cap or similar hooked to a tube the to a turkey baster or syringe make sure connections are good measure brake line to 4.33" as Doc stated wrap tape there and move cap to tape. Collapsed no spring in fill and the use the contraption to level fluid. Read in the tech article and make sure the bike is off the ground to pull the caps, springs under pressure. I'm sure you know that just CMA and Yours.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #189928 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 463 Re:front shock adjustment 3 Years ago   So If I drain out all from the bottom I could just install new oil and put 18.7 OZ back in or doesn't all the oil drain Out?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #190006 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:front shock adjustment 3 Years ago   RoadieSL wrote: So If I drain out all from the bottom I could just install new oil and put 18.7 OZ back in or doesn't all the oil drain Out? That's one way of doing it but .. .... when you try to tighten the bolt, the damper rod will probably turn and then you'll have to disassemble the fork to tighten it back up.

A dowel would work to if that fails Doc said it all. A variation of 1/4 an inches is a totally different setup.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/04/28 20:28 By Makcap.   RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access.
