I'll bet I can do them faster using the book method AND doing the complete job. Without COMPLETELY disassembling the fork, you still have fork oil sediment at the bottom of the leg. UNLESS you do the fork oil swap Harley style (changed at 10K intervals) Disassembly also makes it MUCH easier to drop out the steering head and lube the undoubtedly dry bearings.
Mike22, your bike hasn't had fork oil in it since Ronald Reagan was President.
Here's what you do for front suspension. The fork legs are separated cleaned and reassembled with FACTORY seals. The thirty year old sacked out springs are replaced with progressives. The air is DISREGARDED, and not used. Steering head bearings are replaced with tapered rollers. The head bearings are adjusted Harley style. You perform the Dyna FALLAWAY adjustment.
Leak proof seals aren't. 15 wt fork oil.
