Folks,

I'm changing the fork seals on my 2004 F650GS and have a problem getting the cap off the top to refill with oil.
With only two hands available I cannot depress the cap and fish the circlip out. Replacing the cap would be just as tricky.

The daft question for the day is...  Whilst the legs are off the bike, is there any reason why I cant invert them. Then fill through the drain hole with a large syringe ?
I'd put the correct amount of oil into a container for the fill.

Cheers
MalcolmT
