    Must be a thread around somewhere? Just youtube it there are lots. I'm guessing there are no drain plugs on the Bandit? Do you have a rattle gun? Or acess to?

    24:25 onwards.

    There's a drain plug on the side of the forks I believe that will get the oil out if you don't want to take them off the bike.

    Thats great news, that job just got real simple then, why no drain on the across? :( Is it not enough that we get skinnier toothpick forks

    If you want to do a good job take the legs off,disassemble/clean/fill but if you want to use the drain holes do it twice. Drain/fill/ride 100Km/drain/fill.

    Also, use decent fork fluid and usually 15wt is a good option but I don't know what your manual calls for. Most call for 10wt and running 15wt is better.
