I have 1984 200s forks on my 1981 185s.
Anyways, the Clymer Manual in chapter 3 says: "On this model, it is necessary to remove the fork assembly from the steering head assembly to gain acces to the upper portion of the fork tube.
Remove and disassemble the forks as described in Chapter Eight."
Then Chapter 8 says: "Before suspecting major trouble, drain the front fork oil and refill with proper type and quanity; refer to Front Fork Oil Change in Chapter Three."
Big help, huh?????
So, you have to completely disassemble them just to change or check the oil?
