dropped the fork and cleaned and greased head bearings last week. They were
bone dry.
Luckily all looked OK, no race or roller damage.
I looked for oil drain plug to get old fork oil out. I couldn't see one.
I just turned forks upside down and poured out the oil.
Is this the normal procedure? It was no problem now that fork was out
but, as a standard maintenance item, it seems there should be a plug.
Am I missing something?
Also, I got the word about using straight 50W oil to refill. Cant find it
so far. Will 20-50 work?
Thanks
