June 29, 201511 yr Clean it a bit. I have marked all my forks so I place them back in the same manner. Small dot on the top yoke and on the fork tube with a shizzle. Remove wheel/brake/front fender. Loosen the top yoke alen screws. Loosen the top caps a bit (only because later this is more difficult. Loosen the other 2 allen screws and remove the fork. Remove the top cap and alen screw on the bottom and let the fork empty its old oil. Push it in and out to remove the last bit of oil. Remove dust cap with a screw driver or something (if you have plastics). Remove the small spring whichs holds the seal. Now push on the inner leg and the seal will come loose. Clean everything and reversly put it back together. /only after typing this I thaught of the idea to post a link to a film of jim which explains it probably way better and more clear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP-v_c0g0mw Edited June 29, 201511 yr by crazybond700
June 29, 201511 yr Author Thanks very much, any idea what weight oil I should be using? I weigh 80kg (on a bad day) and like bouncing around. Also how much oil to fill each leg? Admittedly I've not watched the video yet as I'm at work with poor mobile internet so if it's covered there apologies.

It's pretty frustrating because I'm a mechanical engineer so can do most things once I've been shown once but just don't have anyone to show me lol
June 29, 201511 yr Its pretty much the same deal. The capacity is different for each fork (one is rebound other compression). Here is some more info http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/34074-09-gas-gas-pro-fork-oil/on the alu tubes forks but its bassically the same.
