** Proper way to drain is remove forks and dump oil out through the top. It has been brought to my attention people have trouble with the dampening rod spinning after removing to drain the oil like in my video. This is a "short cut" I always use, in the even the dampening rod spins when you try and tighten the bolt back up, I use an impact or install the spring and rap on the allen wrench with a hamer to get it to grab.****

Fork oil change, it was much needed!
Finally doing the much requested fork oil change video!! similar for the Magician, not sure on the capacity, you'd have to measure when you drain like I did in the video.
The capacity for each fork is 150ml or 5 oz of 10 weight fork oil, you can use 15w if you want a stiffer ride, but I am not sure how much the stock seals will take, The bottom hex allen bolt is a 6 mm and the top fork cap is a 17mm socket. When draining compress the forks to work the oil out of the valving chambers. Then put the drain back in and use a jack to get compression off the springs, remove the top caps and fill. Pretty easy job really. Piece of Cake!
