Hi,
Can anyone help with directions for changing the fork oil on an 07 YZ85?
I don't really see a drain plug on the bottom of the fork. The only thin on the bottom is the clicker adjustment for shock compression. At the top is just the air bleeder and clicker adjustment.
Thx in advance

hello there, i dont have such a new bike but im pretty sure they use the same design still.... at the top of the fork where the air valve is you can unscrew that top cap not the air but the hole cap(same diameter as the fork tube) that is where you dump in and out, the oil(messy job)you need to find out how much to put in each fork(manual or call yamaha)oh yah you have to take the front wheel off and slide the hole fork out of the triple tree(fork holders)..Youtube has videos witch will show you the hole procedure for this and the seals ..pretty easy man dont sweat it...too change the seals is a little more of a pain!  
Keep your feet on the pegs, and your right hand cranked!!
