Yet another reason to do a baseline maintenance on a used bike. I changed fork fluid today.

Fork #1 - I dumped out ATF.
Fork #2 - I dumped out fork fluid.
Both different volumes.

My guess would be the fork with the ATF had a seal changed at one time.

After a quick flush, I refilled both to spec with my favorite Bell Ray 10w and reset the preload. Much nicer now!
