So all I do is remove bolts from bottom of forks let it drain . Replace bolts and then refill with 200ml of fork oil . I've been reading about people haveing trouble getting bolts back in . Did you hawk give you any trouble ? I just wanna make sure I gotta grip on what I'm doing lol

the bolts in the bottom of the forks hold the damping rods , not drain bolts..
they will drain them.. getting them out or back in can give probs as the damping rod
may start to turn with the bolt... " do you feel lucky ?"

Take them out of the bike tip the up and drain the oil out though the top...

I think Pete may be speaking from experience.

I have not done the job but I will drain the motor oil then lay it over and drain that fork from the top. Knowing my luck I would f#$% that bottom fork end up for sure. Taking a ride first to heat the fluids for easy drain.
