The ride on Siegfried being very bouncy today I finally took a look to see what the fork oil was like. This involved buying a huge 35mm socket which just a tiny bit too small. At this stage I decided, look, it's my bike after all so I hammered it on. Off with the top yoke spring bolts and off with the drain plug. Result - not a drop came out. Both legs should have 0.075ml fork oil but only the gear lever side has a drain plug. So, on the basis that the drain plug side was empty, I took it as a fair guess that the other side would be too and filled them both. The forks now seem firmer but the rebound is still apparently undamped. Will only know when I go for a ride, if ever the cold, slimy roads dry up for long enough.
