Desert Hot Springs (Palm Springs area), CA | So as I've been pondering changing the fork oil on my 2009 Nessy (24k miles) I was wondering if anyone has drilled and tapped a hole to drain the oil without removing the forks, etc. etc. Could it be done? Anybody done it? |

| Of all the good things Victory did in the design , why didn't they put a drain hole in the down tubes. Other manufacturers do it. |

Pittsburgh, PA | I remember some of my old metric bikes had this... since more than likely victory just purchases suspension parts, its up to the design of the company making them. I do wonder why you dont see more of that... I wonder if there was a down side to it?? |

| At the bottom of the forks is a hole that leads up to a 6mm allen bolt. You pull that and fluid will drain out. Big trick is more how to fill the forks

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | Fork fluid change is not that big of a deal-do it when you have your front wheel off for a new tire. I went with a full synthetic 10W(Silkolene)and it feels great. |
