SSR 125 SEMI AUTO-OH BOY!!!!

I purchased a SSR 125 semi Auto because my daughter was to afraid of my Roketa DB 19 125 W/ hand clutch. The bike's geometry and welds are great. However, the DB 19 IS A much stronger bikE- beefier triples, better forks, hubs, 428 o-ring chain, etc. The SSR has a wimpy 420 chain( LOOKS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN) that I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE, some crappy pogo stick rear shock with no dampning, handle bars that would fold on the first drop, and other dissapointments that I didn't expect-HAD TO GREASE ALL BREARINGS, SWING ARM, AND AXLES-NO GREASE!. I will switch out the rear shock, change the unknown weird plug, buy a better air filter.
However, my main question is this:
ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I CHANGED FORK OIL, AND HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO IT. THESE FORKS EITHER NEED OIL PERIOD OR NEED BETTER OIL. I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY A DUHH!, BUT WHAT DO YOU DO????
THANKS,
TB :oops: :roll:
