Alternative method to change fork oil?
Just wondering it there's any alternative method to change fork oil not needing to remove wheel/fender/nacelle/forks from the bike. Perhaps something like injecting air (to purge) then oil (to fill) thru the drain plug or whatever.

I just used THE ICLICK method (funny) this past weekend. Super simple and quick. No need to remove the front wheel and fender.
One tip: every few ounces - compress the forks a few times to get the oil down in the lower legs and dampners. Otherwise you get towards the end of the required amount of oil and it'll back up and get all over everything (yup I did that), and you'll have to start all over again.
