An easier way to put the caps on is to place the cap in a bench-mounted vise with the cap oriented at about a 30 degree down-angle then screw the fork leg onto the cap while pushing up on the top fork leg section. Went on easy as pie!

Do an internet search for 20w fork oil or even on ebay and you will still get your moneys worth. Most 16oz bottles cost 7 ish dollars but cost $8 to ship but the change is wort the wait and the money.

I got mine from a local suzuki dealer, they had from 5wt and up to 30wt. it cost me $13 for a liter. not to bad i thought. was in and out in 5 min. this also gave me the extra amount that i did not have to worry about messing it up or having to get more if i had a leak.

Sounds like you got a deal. I went to at least 8 places before I gave up. I almost ordered over the internet but I got lucky. Finally got a decent chance to test out the forks and I still think they are great. At first try last week it seemed like under hard braking they only sank about 2 inches and didn't move otherwise.

Went out tonight and they are stiff but in a good way and reacted a lot better. Maybe I was just paying better attention but I like what I am feeling.

If you mean the fork oil replacement then yes.It's so cheap and pretty easy to do and it makes such a difference.All those who have done it report the same benefits and I'm sure they,like me,would never go back to ATF :)
