A few follow ups from my fork spring/fluid exchange....I went with RaceTech springs (a bit heavier for my weight - 210 lb with gear).
As mentioned, pump the fork many, many times to help remove fluid. Then let it hang overnight to drain more. Pump a few more times and call it good.
I went with the RaceTech 10w fork oil, which they recommended. As mentioned in a previous post, there are no standard weights/viscosities for fork and suspension fluid. one man's 10w is anothers 15w. However, I'm happy with the feel I've gotten from this combination. I prefer a stiffer ride to a plush one (but nothing is as stiff as what my Ducati once was).
A graduated measuring cup (such as one uses to do 2-stroke premix) will get you pretty darn close to the right amount of fluid in each leg. To get it to the right level, I take a simple cooking baster (turkey baster), and mark an appropriate point from the bottom. I then wrap a strip of duct tape around it, with the 'upper' edge of the tape aligning with the point I'd marked on the baster. The baster is clear, this way you can see if you are above that level or not? Simply squeeze the baster tube and insert the baster into the fork tube (tubes collapsed) until the top point of the tape aligns with the top of the fork tube. Then release the bulb and it will suck up any fluid. No fluid in the baster means you either haven't put in enough fluid or its at the right level already. Fluid in the tube is how much excess you need to remove. I do this a couple times just to make sure I'm at the right amount. Also, you don't want to stick the baster in, then squeeze the bulb or you end up with air bubbles in your fluid that will alter the fluid height.
Also, put the fork caps back on before you put the tubes in the bike and the tire back on...much, much easier that way.
Pretty easy stuff once you've done it.
