Thanks for all the info! I have it all book marked and saved! I would like to know if you cleaned the measuring cup before you gave it back to your wife? LOL.....I took one of my wifes measuring cups for measuring weed killer.....was her favorite.....I had to replace it....then I dropped the glass one I had borrowed.....back to the store to get a plastic one. LOL

I changed my fork oil last year and it was very easy to do... I removed the allen screws at the bottom of each fork and drained the oil... the old oil really looked clean... I had alot coming out of my left fork but very little coming out my right fork.... but both looked clean... I replaced the oil with clean ATF fluid... forgot what formula... I believe I put 250mml in each fork.. and it rides nice... never had a problem yet... if you decide to remove the screws from the bottom of the forks, and you can't get the screws to screw back in the forks, use a air ratchet... or a air impact that has adjustable air settings so you don't snap off the head...

Dumb question, assuming ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid, any particular brand recommended?

The ATF I used was/is Valvoline MaxLife Dex/Merc ATF... very good results so far.... make sure you measure good and put the same amount in each fork..
I pulled the screws from the bottom of each fork because my oil was clean... you could see right through it... very clean.... I only had about 2000 miles on it ... and the reason I did change it out is because when I hit a bump... the forks would hit hard... so I change the oil and dumped the forks until no oil came out... I was ready to tear the forks down if I had to...

Why the hell did they ever stop putting the 6mm drain screws in the them..
even my xt660 has a place for them but were never drilled and tapped for the screws.. ..

too easy to remove 2 screws .. drain oil ... replace 2 screws.... and refill... takes how long??? 30 minutes or less... versus removing the forks.. and spending an hour or so on removing the forks... I like to work smarter not harder.... I wish they would bring the screws back... make life easier...
