Yup.....works for me. Place the sprayer next to your Snap-On wrenches and hand make Japanese wood tools. Bogdan

It also helps to keep things in perspective. If the manual says to add 400ml, and you start exceeding that amount, a red flag should go up; something is probably wrong. Matt

OK so I decided to just use compressed air to force out the fork oil through the bottom plugs and not take the forks all apart and off the bike. Different posts say 355 or 400 cc BEST GUESS, How much should I add? Thanks, Jeffrey
