Okay....so i am sure we all have read the manual and laughed at the over simplified diagram on how to change/check the front fork oil
How do they expect you to check/measure 160mm down the compressed fork tube with the spring in the way? Wouldn't an easier way to do this be (if you have never had a leaking problem) just drain all oil into a cup and measure the amount drained and replace with fresh 5 weight fork oil?
Is the right/throttle side tube supposed to have less fluid in it?
Also after re-assembly I have been getting some spring noise. Any ideas? Would this be due to over tightening the right side tube?
Thanks
