Front Fork Removal


The front wheel and forks were the last items removed from the motorcycle. I kept them as one unit, upright, until I was ready to drain the oil from the forks. When I finally removed the front wheel, I placed the axle back into the forks to keep track of the parts and also hold the forks steady.

I still kept the forks at a slight angle so the oil wouldn't leak out of the top. Then, I removed the two white dust caps at the bottom of the forks and followed the steps in Duane Ausherman's article to drain the oil.
