Change Fork Oil , What is the easy way?

[BoiseVmax]

(Assuming it's time to change fork oil)
With a Gen 2 on a stand, can you just bleed out the fork oil, and refill without removing forks. Has someone done it that way? Any problems or precautions?

There is no bleed screw...that's very old fork technology. No other way than to put it on a stand, remove the wheel, remove each fork, remove the top cap (which also means removing adjuster from a rod inside the fork) & draining the oil from the top of the fork tube.

If you don't want to remove the forks you could try removing the top cap and sucking it out with a syringe.

I suppose you could...it wouldn't get any of the oil out of the damper assembly though.
