It sounds as if you replaced the fork oil yourself. I am about to change my fork oil for the first time and wondered about the steps you took and if you ran into any hooks along the way. Did you remove the legs from the triple tree's and just empty them out into a measuring cup and then replace that removed amount with fresh oil via the gland nut on the top of the leg. Or did you use the "measuring stick method" that is in the service manual?
Did you install a new seal kit while you were at it? I was also going to use the SE oil (#99881-87). I am glad you said it was an improvement because I purchased the oil a few weeks back and then started to wonder if I did the right thing. I have 49mm legs on my front end. Are your the same?
The Mity Vacuum pump method that Glider had invented will not work on my legs.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated since I have never done it before and really don't know what to expect.
One question I had was can I just remove the legs,,, remove the top gland nut,,, and pour out the oil. Will all the oil come out or does some get trapped inside? After refilling, how do you get the air pockets out? (if there are any). The manual is not very clear on just changing the oil. It goes into detail about installing new seals but not just an oil change by itself.
