What is the only thing you need to do to change the fork oil in some Showa ('99 RM250) forks? I don't need to change seals or other stuff....I just want to do the oil right now. I have a manual, but it talks about "completely" disassembling the forks...but I just want to change the oil for now. Is it just the top cap and what ever oil is in the damper rod?.....and can I do this without buying any parts(o-rings, seals, etc.)?
Also, since I bought this bike used from a person that weighed 230 to 240, and I'm 180 to 185, is there a way to check the spring for a part number that could tell me the stiffness? He said he didn't change them, if I remember right, but I wanted to check to make sure, because they seem pretty stiff.
