fork oil change

[jake100]

ok stupid question here I want to change the fork oil but at the present time, I don't have the place or equipment to pull them all apart. So I was wondering if I could just use a syringe to inject the oil back in through the drain hole (like you service an outboard motor lower unit)

I would think that would be a very inaccurate and messy way to do it. Why not drain the oil, then put new oil in at the top caps? Keep in mind if the oil that comes out is very black or even a little silver in it, you will probably need to put in new bushings also.
