I want to change the fork oil on my 04 Sherco ,what sort of job is it,what oil & how much goes in ?.

Regards Ian

Easy enough to pull the lower screws out of the legs, pump them dry and refill with 330ml of 5wt fork oil per leg.

I always try to combine maintenance tasks, so I will pull the front wheel, lube bearings, ck/replace brakes, slide the fork tubes out and remove the caps to drain and refill after I pack the steering stem bearings.

Just make sure you don't get oil on your brakes. If I change the fork oil with the front wheel on (I'm small, taking the front wheel off alone is tough), I put cling wrap around the brake disc, etc. (Hey, don't laugh, it works) Otherwise, take the front wheel off. Then take the caps off the fork legs, then take the drain plugs out.
