Just did it.
Pull the front wheel under the fork where the axle rides is a 12mm Allen bolt take it out and the oil comes out, all of it.
To put the oil in i had to have the front wheel off the ground take off the fork bolts on top of the top triple tree then take the pinch bolts off the fork clamps and the forks will slide down there is another top bolt take it off, there is a little spring pressure but not much pour the oil in put the tube plug back on your done.
It is really easy to do just seems complicated the manual is good it just doesn't tell you about the 12mm drain bolt or how to put oil in i had no special tools.
I changed my sliders to chrome and used a paint stir stick to put new seals in so it can be done.
If you decide to do it this Saturday i will check for posts for you to help you if you run into trouble, really it is easy
