I just completed the fork oil change on my 16 RS using the Haynes manual for the bike and the Youtube video from Baking Biker. Although the video indicated the air gap requirement for each leg he did not say what amount he poured into each leg, he only set the air gap depth. In the Haynes manual no mention is made as to removing the internals of the left leg/ESA leg to get all the oil out to match the required volume of 304 ml stated in the manual. I dumped out about 200 ml from the left leg and then let it drain to get out another 10 ml but that was it no matter how many times I pumped the fork. So, in the opinion of the forum is this good enough or should the fork be disassembled to try and get out more oil? The seal or gasket rings for the damper rod bolt in the bottom of the fork is not cheap at $9.73 each, just saying.
