Start off by removing the forks from the bike, then remove the top caps (bolts) from the forks. Once removed take out the spacer and fork springs from the forks. Tip them upside down to get the fork oil out. Now with the forks empty from fluid and springs you will compress the forks all the way to make them as short as possible. You will need a fork dampening tool or a air gun to split the forks by removing the bolt inside the fork tubes. Once this is achieved you can pull the forks apart and replace the fork seals. When putting fork oil back into the forks if you are not sure how much to put back in, just compress the forks all the way down and fill each leg 6 inches from the top. That amount works for just about any motorcycle with conventional forks. Use 10 w fork oil.
SAE 10 fork oil and according to the manual it's 228 cubic centimeters.....The manual also mentions that the oil level should be 176 mm below the top of the inner fork tube. Good luck...i hope this helps.
