Hi,
I am planning to change the fork oil on my 1979 CB650 for the first time. The question I have is what happens to the springs when I remove the 17mm bold on top? Will the spring pop out the top? ...any advice?
Also, what oil do you recommend
Thanks,
Saber
Changing fork oil
Re: Changing fork oil
It will pop out, but it is not uncontrollable. When it starts getting close to being all the way out, cover it with a shop rag and your hand.

Re: Changing fork oil
If you do them both on the bike make sure the front is supported.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
Re: Changing fork oil
also the oil to use is ATF
Re: Changing fork oil
ATF is a good stand by but if you want to change dampening use fork oil of diff weight. Many articles and threads on it.

Re: Changing fork oil
Thanks for all the great information. The manuals only explain the basic steps, but not what to watch for on each step....thanks
