Fork oil

[Woko]

Hello folk, I will be changing the oil in my forks over the upcoming holiday, I have a small oil pump, is there any reason I can't just suck the old oil out and fit new , without removing the forks from the bike and  striping the them?
Thanks Woko.

That's the lazy method, it works
Just take care adjusting the level acc. to the manual!

I would recommend you do it the regular way.  Its not that hard if you have a Haynes manual.  I got a lot of oil out when I pumped the forks that you won't get the lazy way.

The biggest problem with sucking it out is that the part you leave in is the gunkiest stuff, full of sludge and wear metals. Pulling forks off is actually pretty easy, and makes the job simple and fast.
