Planning to remove the fork and drop off at Honda for servicing. Any tips for removal/install? Any other maintenance opportunities with the fork removed?

 

Thanks!

Pretty easy to  remove.

Bike on Centre stand or Jack with wood blocks under something sturdy.

Wheel off ,don't forget which way the spacers go.

Cable tie the calipers as not to stretch the pipes. 

Start with the clips ons bolts(12mm?) and work down through the head stock (14mm)or triple tree depending on where you are from. Do one at time .

 

 

Maintenance wise...

 

I would strip and grease the headstock bearings or replace them while the forks are out.

 

Give the rad a clean and straighten the fins.

 

While the forks are apart, if budget allows, stretch for some progressive springs.

Hope this helps you.
