Pretty straightforward job...
Some hints from experience though:
before anything else
- remove handlebar covers
- loosen upper triple clamp pinch bolts
- loosen fork caps 1/4 turn
then you can deal with everything else, calipers, front wheel, fender/brace, etc...
RH leg has that plastic clip holding the brake hose; you'll need a stubby #2 JIS there... (if you overlook that thing you'll wonder why the fork won't slide out...)
Non ABS forks have drain bolts at the sides, up to you if you want to make use of them... but ensure to loosen the caps first...
Once a fork leg is removed flip it upside down to deal with the damper retaining bolt, do this first, you can/will drain most of the oil out there (prep you plastic oil-pan...)
Then remove the cap, drain the rest of oil out (I then flush with lots brake cleaner to reduce the oil-mess on the workbench...)
Once all is apart, wash thoroughly, again: its a mess in there...
upon assembly proper orientation of the new slider bushings needs to be observed
You don't want to have the cut in a load bearing position (forward or rearward), but facing sideways (in/outward), during this I mark the [OUTSIDE] on the upper tube with a piece of masking tape an a marker and maintain it's orientation in the fork bottom...
Pump/bleed the shocks a couple of times after filling fork oil (you'll hear and feel once the air is purged), and keep fork vertically until installation.
When placing the forks back into the triple clamps, I see to get the tubes flush with the upper clamp, cap rim protrudes...
I torque the lower clamps first for alignment.... (just installed new tubes on my rig, worked perfectly...)
