just got a 2001x11 with 20,ooo kilometers on it (12.600 miles). I am changing all the fluids. ow do I get all the oil out of the rear shocks? They are off the bike now but ver slow to drain. If I add 230ml on top of old oil that does not come out I will have too much oil.

Re: changing rear shock oil
Don't waste your time.
Replace them with Progressive 412 rear spring shocks. Superior ride & handling. Best upgrade you can do
And no air to deal with

Re: changing rear shock oil
If you can't click on the addy. directly then cut and paste to this site there is a good article by Jeff Barnhill on changing oil.
