You really need to get a manual...online download or paper. Fork oil change and other service issues often have small details that you can miss by relying on a quick rundown found on a forum. On the fork for example, there's a small bleed hole between the outer and inner tubes while you're adding the new oil and bleeding the damper. If you're not aware of that, you may let the damper bleed step allow the oil to drop below that hole that you can't easily see resulting in not getting all the air out of the damper, or giving you an incorrect oil level once you start riding the bike and cycling the fork in actual use. All I'm saying is that there are little things like that in many service procedures that a manual will tell you about and a forum rundown might not. Not every service procedure needs a manual of course, but for many it's the best reference there is.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but it is part of the job. I will scan the repair manual later to give the instrutions on how to change the fork oil.

I quickly scaned the manual for you.
