New 2020 Brozz delivered, fork removal question

gwowzer · 03-10-2020, 06:22 PM

Just got my new 2020 Brozz, very happy with it so far. Started uncrating and assembly last night. So probably many more questions to follow!
First is I want to remove the front forks to drain and replace the oil. Do I just loosen the bolts and the forks slide down and out? Then remove the caps from the top and let drain upside down all night?

I posted a video on Youtube for the TBR7 ... assume Brozz, Hawk, all should be the same or similar

Caps on top! never bolts underneath as that lets the fork go apart n can cause a load of issues!

This is what I have done. Hopefully correctly!
When I add new tomorrow, I am planning on adding 230 ml if that is close to what drains out over the night. Do I need to add in any specific spot or anywhere within the outside tube will do?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies. Motorcycles are new to me let alone building one. If anyone has HVAC questions I can help them out!

gwow - did you see my vid?

Crack fork cap (on bike), loosen pinch bolts on upper and lower triple tree\bridge.

Slide forks out, unscrew fork cap, remove spring, pour out old oil and pump a few times.

Fill from the top and reverse the steps.

Curious how did you arrive at wanting to 230ml ?

What is your fork oil weight?, what applications will you drive in mostly ? offroad\street? Suppose your body weight may play a role as well ?

Factor all of the above to determine how many mls... also its easier to add then subtract.
