[QUOTE="PapaUtah, post: 1221613, member: 212"] I am getting ready to change the fork oil in the Metallic Monster again...I thought I would share my homebrew fork oil level setter I fashioned out of leftovers laying around the garage. My Gen 3 required different levels in each leg. I have marked the appropriate levels by filing a small groove in the outer copper tube in case my sharpie markings fade away. Simply move the bottom collar to the proper height and then bring the polycarbonate plate and upper collar down and locked as a stop. I have a large syringe I then use to evacuate the oil in the fork tube down to the proper level. Gets the level as close as anything I could possibly do. Has worked well on the annual changes on my old 05 and the first change (soon to be second) on my 13. [IMG]https://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b540/mayorofgl/IMAG0086_zpszdwyf2fy.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
