KTM LC4 Fork Oil Change

Gary · 03-26-2003, 06:00 AM

Can anyone offer a 1-2-3 or outline a quick method of changing the fork oil on KTM USD 43's ('01 LC4E).

I found and downloaded the manual on the forks but by the time they get to pouring the oil out, they have disassembled beyond what I think would be necessary for just an oil change.

Theres a bit on KTMTalk.com for an '03 450 but it sounds like the design might be different than mine.

This is my first set of Upside Down Forks, and I've been used to pulling a plug or two and refilling out of a measuring cup.

I can see that I'll probably have to pull fork tubes and get one of those nifty fill level sucky things.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
