totty79 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 1. every 2 years. 2. The oil recommended in the manual or an alternative with the same cst rating (different brands of 5w can vary a lot). 3. I think the manual specifies it by height but I don't have it to hand. You can do both with a normal bottle. 4. Remove wheel, undo top clamp then fork cap then bottom clamp. Don't be surprised that only one fork has a spring. Pump to get old oil out, then again to get the air out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perix Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks for your reply, this is the 2018 manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totty79 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Looks like you might have to weigh the oil or see what years used the same forks and check those manuals. Mines a 2012 so a lot might have changed from the manual I use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perix Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I checked earlier manuals and it seems that they changed the way of measurement from 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 The forks have changed quite a lot. They only list the quantity, which is correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
