Hi All. So I tried searching various forms of this question but no luck so far. Is there anything to be aware of, or do differently with fork oil replacement when dealing with an air assisted shock? Not sure if that's even the correct wording, but there's a schrader valve on the top right side fork and I figured y'all would understand what I'm saying. I can pretty much push down on the handle bars and bottom out the fork with modest effort so I figured it's probably overdue for a change. Going to drain and replace the (most likely original) fork oil in my 'new to me' 81' CM400C. From what I can tell, it should have about 10-14 psi of air in the shocks. I used my air gauge and got a zero reading btw. Looks like it calls for 137 to 143 ml of oil, I'm using 10W fork oil and figure i'd go with 140 ml.
Thanks for any insights.
Cheers,
Dylan
