So, I learned how to exchange my fork oil and it certainly needed to be done.
After putting everything back together (followed the manual) all is well with one problem.
Basically, when I run my finger around the drain screw at the bottom of my forks, I end up with fork oil on my finger (suggesting a leak). That's why I'm here.
When I tighten my drain screws, I notice that they don't seem to get "tight". Instead, there's a point where they just keep goin' round and round and round and round and round
So, is that the way they're designed to operate?
Next question: The manual mentions the prospective need to replace those little mini gasket-washer dealies that go between the screw and the fork. Has that been anyone else's experience? What are those called and where can I get them?
Is minor leaking like this normal?
Look for question marks, people ... LOL. So far I count four
