20,000 mile service done including front fork oil change, waiting on spring
I finished up my 20,000 mile service last night. I have the rest of the winter for a buff, wax and polish.
If you are planning on changing your fork oil, be prepared, it sucks. I had to use an impact driver to get the screws out. There was no way they could be removed with a regular screwdriver (even with a pair of vice grips clamped on the screwdriver). My oil was VERY DIRTY!! I have no idea how MoCo says this is a 50,000 mile service item. I would hate to see how bad it would be at 50,000.

I used ICLICK's method also, it worked well and is nothing to be afraid of other than those effin screws. I replaced mine with some stainless allen head bolts. Found them at my hardware store. They were metric, and they did seem to seat well. I bet I will be able to get them back out much easier in the future.
