    ok another thread since searching hasnt helped and my previous thread didnt quite catch wind..

    if i understand correctly there are drain screws for the forks on the anti-dive units of my xj750.

    so i want to change my fork oil and clean my anti-dives, do i just open the drain screw, take the top bolt off and/or just let it drain?

    then remove the anti-dives and clean them, refit and add fork oil accordingly?

    There is no separate drain for the fork oil on the anti-dive. You have to drain it using the phillips screws on the back of the lower fork tubes.... Gravity will take care of whatever oil is left in the anti-dive. There's very little oil in there, anyway.

    The bleeder valves on the anti-dives are for the brake fluid.
