The ZX11 needs new fork oil... desperately! ! ! !

I have a pdf manual (with bits missing) and I have the correct oil and oil quantities measurements. The only thing is... there is no drain screw on the forks... which means the forks have to come off. Never done this before as my other bikes have always had drain screws.

Does anyone have any tips on their removal ?

I need to have her ready for AWNMR tommorow evening!

Oil - 10w

458ml(or mm - i forgot) Per leg with 133mm Air gap

Thats weird.. I just noticed the manual (see pic) shows a diferent oil amount? ahh crap. The 458ml (or mm) came from Kawasaki.

Cheers Cajun,

The Stranger helped me out, the manual you found had a few corrupted pages to it. Just so happend to be the section on fork removal! Turns out it was pretty straight forward as long as a few important steps were followed.
