1- remove the lower drain plug from the lower legs ( oil pan under ofcourse)
2-remove the upper fork leg nuts
3- mesure the proper amount of oil for each side
4-replace the drain screws
5-use a small clean funnel and pour it down the hole
6- replace the upper fork nuts tourqe to specs
Viola your done

as for adjustment i dont where you see that
i would go to the s/e heavy fork oil btw

 

Get a manual , the FXDX forks don't have a simple drain plug like the others . The manual shows complete disassembly for a fork oil change but I'm sure you could find a short cut somewhere. The manual also shows some special tools for disassembly.

 

the forks on the fxdx are alittle different than others. ah yes the special tools!

 

my bad i assumed they were like most others ive done baggers and squishy tail just not a dyna

 

SOME Dynas have drain screws (if you're lucky). Otherwise, clear your afternoon cause it's going to take a little while.
