    Draining fork oil

    How do I drain out all of the oil from my forks? I removed the phillips screw at the side of the base and it is draining slow. Do I have to just wait for it to drain?

    No

    No, you can compress your forks...but watch out because the fork oil will shoot out of there!!8-[

      I remove mine completely when doing the seals and turn them upside down over an oil pan.

          Remove the bolts on top, the ones you will fill through. That will relieve the pressue, and allow it to drain freely.
