    Sorry for all the questions. I understand previous comments made about the owners manual now. I'll need to get a service manual.

    This is probably obvious but just want to make sure I do the right thing. On the top of the forks there is a small rubber cap. I pop that out, and with the front forks unloaded I vent the front forks with the shrader like valve under the rubber cap. Correct?

    If you mean by 'unloaded' on a bike stand.... No bleed them with both wheels on the ground and you off the bike. You can also bleed them during your ride...just make sure you're stopped first.:D
    Hope that helps ya.

    Thanks. Problem with getting a new bike is you have to relearn all the details. On my KTM the manual recommended placing the bike (KTM) on a stand with the front wheel off the ground to vent the breathers.
