| - | If the forks are removed from the bike and serviced, replacement of the fork oil is specified by the MoCo in two different terms. It is specified as to quantity (ounces) but is also specified by then measuring the distance the fork oil is down from the top of the slider tube. This measurement is taken with the fork spring removed and the sliders compressed together. | + | If the forks are removed from the bike and serviced, replacement of the fork oil is specified by the MoCo in two different terms.
