Well the bike jack wont work with the pipes criss-crossing underneath( its gorgeous) so i used a bottle jack  and noticed the bikes have a removable oil pan(?)    cool didnt expect that         anyway ,flushed the forks tonight      i was relieved to find that the fluid in there was not at all dirty    a little dark but no grime or debris seemed to flow out at all     it did seem to get a little darker when i started stroking the forks but for the most part seemed to be ok      i noticed the manual calls for 7-7.3 ounces of fluid     can you overfill/underfill  the forks? if so what happens?      i tried to measure as carefully as possible using the scale on the side of the atf bottle so.... should be ok    THANKS AGAIN SGTSLAG AND TOOLS FOR ALL YOUR HELP! Tomorrow hope to change engine oil and filter and begin getting the carbs ready.   My Dad was telling me that on one of his bikes he swapped the factory carbs for a single Mikuni and he loved it!!  Any chance of doing that nowadays? What are ya'lls opinion on that?   Anything i should lookout for when disassembling the carbs?   Im gonna go study the manual now...do my homework  haha    THANKS AGAIN GUYS     COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE    1,375,825% APPRECIATIVE!!
