Fork oil change school me! 73 t500

Post by Repeater »

I have read the manual and well how do I change the fork oil without some special tools or changing seals. It's my fun bike rat bike name it she gets new fluid and not much else.


I have a clunk right now when I hit any type of bump. any thoughts?

I'm not a T500 man, but looking at the fiche I see it has the typical drain plugs at the fork bottoms. You remove those 2 phillips screws and pump the forks up and down to expel the old oil, I have no idea how to put oil in though :?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
