How hard is it to replace the fork oil on the XX? I didn't see specific directions in the manual, so just wondering if you need to take the forks off... Or is their a drain plug somewhere?

You can try and do it by undoing the bolts in the bottom of the fork legs that holds in the damper rod but the correct way entails removing the forks icon_surprised.gif This way you can drain it properly eusa_think.gif

Be sure to spray the drain bolt with WD40 and let it sit for a day or two. It will come right out...but be patient.

I usually let the fork leg hang from a rafter in the garage (upside down) for a day to allow all old oil to drain from the fork leg.

If you do a search in this form this was actually covered about 6 mos. ago....
