Author Message   Thunderhead Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 05:58 pm:        can you check the fork oil with out taking them apart?   Eshardball Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 06:02 pm:        Drain & refill with the specified amount. I don't think there is a way to check it. Are your seals leaking?   Sloppy Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 06:55 pm:        You have to remove the top cap and remove the spring. Go by oil level height, not quantity. It's all in the Factory Service Manual...   Buellistic Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 07:30 pm:        Just checked the fork oil in my 1997 S3T today ... It was not all that hard to do ... Was just a "THINK" and "DO" !!!   Thunderhead Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 08:28 pm:        there was some stuff on the lower right axle bolt.guessing old oil? when you put the spring back in the tube, do you have t use a special tool?   Oldog Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 11:30 am:        T-head read through this, the top section is specific to the X1/S3 fork, http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=3842&post=802080#POST802080
