Hello All,
I know the first reply I'll get from everybody on this inquiry is: "Buy a manual!"
Well, I know that, but being in the Philippines makes getting a manual a bit trickier than going down to the local dealer and ordering one! Besides, I need to get answer now!
I bought this KDX250SR just 2 weeks ago, and while the shock is in the US getting an overhaul, I thought I would pay some attention to the forks... I would really like to change the fluid, but I need some help...
I've been into a fair number of conventional forks, but I have never been into a set of inverted forks. I pulled the forks off the bike and opened the fork caps. How do I "separate" the fork caps from the lower portion of the fork. I see a nut below the fork cap, does that undo it?
When I measure the fork oil level I think I need to have the fork fully compressed, is that correct? With or without springs installed in it? What is the OEM level for the fork oil?
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I have only ridden the bike for about 5 minutes since I've had it and I'd like to have some other things ironed out it before my shock comes back next week.
By the way, when I'm on the buyKawasaki website it says I need a KDX200 manual and a KDX250 supplement... this SR model looks identical to a 1991-94 KDX250... you KDX250 owners out there, what manuals do I need to properly maintain this bike?
Salamat! (Thanks)
