The bike uses a twin tube fork so all that needs to come off is the lower rebound adjuster 17mm socket, after removing the dust seal and wire ring loosen the adjuser compress the fork pushing the adjuster out then use a race tech U tool to hold while you remove the adjuster from the rod. once off you can turn the fork over drain the outer 12oz of oil and then pop the tube and leg apart and your seals/oil is changed and then you reassemble. this is how we charge 3 hrs and do it in 1 hr he he!

Not sure of the exact mm size but if you buy a tool from race tech, pit posse, tusk, factory connection, etc. the tool will come with 2 different sized ends. This tool will work for you as well as 90% of all the other late model bikes
