[QUOTE="gwhII, post: 735982, member: 40778"] (1) You're going to have to pull your springs so you're going to need a fork spring holder to remove the fork spring. I've read of people using a 7/16" wrench but I fabbed one out of a wood plane blade that had a 7/16" channel (2 inch wood plane) and cut off the edge. For fork oil level, if you don't want to make a gauge (look at [url]www.dirtrider.net/justkdx[/url] tools), I'd probably get a piece of wood dowel and mark off 87mm or whatever you like and pour carefully at the end. If you're going to hold it in a vise, get some cheap soft jaws for your vice so that it won't marr the finish on the slider. The fork cap takes a 30mm socket too. (2) That's 530ml per leg. Since you're not taking the leg completely apart, there will be some oil left in the cartridge so you'll have to adjust accordingly. I'd fill it most of the way first and pump up the cartridge and then top off to specific level. (3) Heavier weight oil should make the ride rougher/harder since it'd be harder to push the oil through the valve. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. (4) You're not taking your forks competely apart so there shouldn't be anything you could change. Check your o-ring in the fork cap though it should be fine. (5) I found it easier to measure fork oil level and reassemble in a vise on my work bench. Best, Greg [/QUOTE]
