Fork Oil Change

[AndyH 35]

I have resprayed the fork bottoms on the new project a nice

aluminium silver colour...Looks great.And I am thinking to myself

while all of the brakes and pipes and other gubbins are removed

and bungied out of harms way..why not do the fork oil.

The bike is 16 years old and has done 22,000 miles so it must be 

due ,or even overdue.

Anyway,I have printed off the necessary pages from the manual..(thanks Eddy).

I have all of the information on oil capacities,air gaps,and torque for the bolts.

I was just wondering if I will be able to tell the difference with some nice

fresh oil in the fork legs...or am I wasting my time??

Has anyone else done this job? and was it worth the effort???

HI not done a x11 yet but other bikes I have done I have always felt the improvement after.Fork oil will only get worse with use so now is the time to do it.ps let us know the results

When you have the front up, check out that steering bearing, if you feel even little bit stiffness on the middle position you might want to change those bearings.
