Lazy fecker fork oil change.

[ambo478]

As I remember, my old Kawasaki 900r had a simple grub screw to allow the release of old oil at the bottom, a couple of pumps and they were empty, then fill up from the top,, easy. As all of you will agree, im not a fan of making this modification to my Bird.
Is it possible to administer a pipe to the bottom of the fork, from the top, to allow the syringing or syphoning of the old oil?
I obviously want to do the job fully and remove all the old oil, but is this possible?
If you wanna be a sarky fucker, carry on , its expected, but id prefer a well thought out answer .
Usual shite, Its 05 two tone silver (one of the rarer and faster FI models) due to its rarity.

In theory its should work.

Alternatively put an air line in there and blow the old fluid out c7u8

 

[ambo478]

Hilarious on here as usual, If you post inane shite that means feck all, all the boys in the clique get all excited and post more shite about nothing.
Soon to jump down yer neck if you post in the wrong section though.
But if you ask for help and they don't know you, its all ...........
'Fuckin dickhead'
8ree!Yep its chilly in here guys....Thanks ..

I see you've over a hundred posts, so your obviously not new here, so it's pretty obvious you know how things work, why start bitching now?? :dunno: if all of a sudden your not happy with how it works, just don't post on here again!! :dunno: no one is forcing you to stay!! :dunno:

 

[mikeyw64]

I would just like to point out that my answer (which is the only one received too date) comprised 2 elements 1 or more of which may or may not prove useful :-:

 

[ambo478]

I wasn't referring to your post Mikey.

Why start bitching now???? Peace and love ? kiss my arse.
I find myself with enough common to run a bike and stay on it myself, but occasionally, just once in a blue moon, a bit of friendly advice wouldn't go a miss, Your all too bothered about oooooh what colour is it ? ooooh its a slow one FFS Go get yourselves new handbags and swing them somewhere else. Fuck it I will figure it out myself and bother you people no more (just wanted to be part of a community that has a common theme) You lot really do post some boring fucking shite, But do I complain ????

Wahahahahay to go Ambo me old spunkbag. That's telling the fekkers :bow:

Just pissed messen. @tu*

Can't help you with the above. I aint a lazy fekka and like to clean the forks totally of old oil ( loada bollox I know but I'm a bit OCD about some things like all of us are i suppose) which means stripping them down to bare including removing the bushes to clean behind their "foreskins".

If I WAS a lazy coont like you, i wouldn't fekkin bother doing half a job and just leave the old oil in. You'd only notice the difference AFTER you'd changed the oil so leave it, ignorance is bliss.

GLWYS for knowledge. ;-0))

Dunno what the fook that old cherry has raised its head again for..."you've only so many posts blah blah" mebbe that's cos ambo spends more time riding the Bird than fekkin posting incessantly on here eh?

Great reply thanks, just the tonic I needed.
So many self righteous losers in this world , I come on here to try and glean information to improve my bike and enjoy the whole experience, chill out and maybe learn a thing or 2 , but get confronted with up tight no marks who always know better. I have a low post count because I don't post shite , then get slated for it.....

Err, changing the subject....you got any contact details for Clive and Kit? Lost mine that I had. brok3

 

[ambo478]

I don't sorry

 

[Tinytim]

Ok thanks. Worth a try. @tu*


;-0))

 

[4_4_2]

just a thought Ambo...... this is the help section, so you really should get your question answered sensibly, if its a sensible question of course, long before any piss taking begins....however the OP almost begs for the piss taking to start early....why even put that in? its in the correct place for a sensible answer, so ask, and then in the age old tradition, listen!d34l :-0)

However I do think that some times there is a habit on this site for certain people to be overly rude and downright personal, which I have to say is fairly unique to this site IMHO. h1d1ng2

spread the love brothers and sisters, spread the love! @tu*

 

[ambo478]

Thanks Lumpy, all I was going to do was syringe and measure the oil taken from each leg and replace with exactly the same.

 

[Jaws]

If you remove the front wheel there are hex bolts up in recesses that hold the damper rods in place
Remove those, then undo the top caps and pull up, pulling up the dampers with it. The oil will drain out..

Alternately simply suck it out.. the little left will make no real difference.

 

[Jaws]

Absolutely agree.. You can NEVER go by volume even when you drain the legs right down,,, Should always be done by air gap @tu*

 

[greenbriggs9]

Lol.
I dunno!
By the time you have finished arguing, you could of taken the fairing off, jacked up from the engine and taken the blooming forks off.

Fork upgrade

Just upgraded fork springs from Jaws. Was also ready to syringe/suck old oil out expecting it to be black and sludgey. In fact it looked clean and bright so left it in. Easy job, used a hacksaw blade's teeth to pull up old spring and seal which slipped down into the tube while I wasn't looking. Test it out tomorrow. Next up; waiting for rear shock upgrade from Jaws. @tu*:yo:
