I sucked mine out with a vacuum, put more in and sucked it out again to make sure it was all clean. The factory oil sucks and the levels were off from one fork to the other, mine was 4oz off and I've heard of them being off way more than that. I have Amsoil shock therapy 10# in mine now. While it's open you should think about a set of springs to help the dive under braking, it helped mine a lot.

After viewing Mud's extremely helpful and informative posts, I'd say -- 1) Mud's mechanical abilities rank (on a scale of 1 to 10) somewhere around 9.9 whether amateur or professional and, 2) I'm sticking by my original assessment of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" on this one.
But if I ever HAVE to get into my forks, for whatever reason, it's sure nice to have good folks like Mud around to give us some direction.
