FORK OIL CHANGE ESA???

[RED CAT]

Anybody done one yet? I have the capacities for Left and Right tubes which are different. 17.4oz and 17.8oz. Don't remember which is which. Not sure how to get those electrical connectors off the top of the forks.

Which model and year?

Gen 2 ES, based on having electrical connections...

2014,15,16 ESA are all the same Gen 2 bikes.

The service manual does not indicate any periodic replacement of fork fluid, only inspection for leaks, and repair if needed. During a rebuild/repair, rather than a specific amount, the manual calls out a height measurement. Several special tools are called out for repairs.

I wouldn't imagine you have enough miles yet on the bike to be needing to rebuild the forks, but one never knows. Unless I saw tell tale of oil leaks I'd be leaving it alone.

^ You may be right. I may just skip it.
