How do you replace the the fork oil and not replace the seals ?I replace the fork oil with every other front tire change since it's much easer to do with the front wheel off. It works out to every 15 - 20k miles. I haven't had to replace seals yet at 85k.
Some have tried just using the drain bolt at the bottom of the forks to expel what ever drains out while still on the bike. Then measure that amount, then remove the top cover and refill.How do you replace the the fork oil and not replace the seals ?
Can you replace the oil without totally disassembling the fork tube ?
Yes, just remove the forks and flip them upside down to drain. I let them drain for a couple hours and pump them a few times to get all the old oil out. It's easier if you loosen the fork caps before taking them off (after loosening the top pinch bolts). Refill per the service manual using the distance from the top of the fork. My spec is different because I have Traxxion Dynamics straight rate springs so I use the spec they gave me. I have the Motion Pro tool that makes it easy to do so.How do you replace the the fork oil and not replace the seals ?

I received my NOJ socks from Amazon as well. Once I replace my seals this winter, the socks will go on.
