Bar, I've done this twice now. Recently, I put in 20w to try to cut down the diving in the front end. It helps some but doesn't totally eliminate the problem. Both times I measured out 330 ml and poured it in. I've had no problems with this amount.

david,
I am little dense here. So by just removing the bottom bolt and pumping the front end you can get out the whole 330ml of fork oil. That's great if am am understanding you correctly. I never have gotten all the oil out by using the drain bolts on other bikes. Unfortunately most newer bikes don't have drain bolts anymore so usually I can get most out with a suction pump and long tube.
I just got my new 2009 Qink XF200 and haven't notices that much fork dive but I am taking it easy on the bike since I am in the break in period. She does do well in the twisties.
Anyway thanks for all your documentation.Vince

11-08-2010, 05:33 PMNot to change the subject of this POST - But thought I'd give this a try and ask - Can anyone advise on adjustment of the front fork tubes to LOWER The bike a bit? I'ce had several people tell me now I can lower the front abit - becuase I am vertically challanged! LOL :) i ONLY AM LOOKING AT ABOUT A INNCH OR LESS. Looking for detailed advise on which bolts to loosen on how to achieve this adjustment. Thanks much!

JTc,
Not to be a smart ass but if you have never done the lowering of a bike by dropping it down in the triple trees then I recommend for safety reason that you take it to a good independent shop to have it done. Also you should lower the rear a like amount by reducing the preload on the rear shock to keep the bike level.
Should not take more than an hour of labor.Vince

11-09-2010, 02:35 AMThanks Barnone - After examing the front end of the Qlink I probably will not go that route anyways. If you get any out of the front tubes it would only be about 1/2" or less, becuase the top of the tubes would actually hit the bars, and without bar risers I do not see it being worth it. I'm still trying to locate my lost spanner wrench to make that rear shock adjustment. I'm sure a few turns will probably give me what I'm looking for. Oh yeah thanks for looking out for my safety!!! lol :)

12-24-2011, 03:34 AMFriendly and useful first post in MCM, sven trials. Welcome. You list your location as "wa" -- given your interest in trials, is it safe to assume that is Washington state? Or have you figured a way to trial your way up through Rock Creek Park in the nation's capital?
And are you using a China bike for your trials riding? I think a lot of us would be interested in that if it's the case. Oh, and the rule around here is that your bike doesn't exist without pictures! Please feel free to post early and often!
Again, welcome and looking forward to more smart posts.

Bar, I get the diving while braking. I mostly drive back and forth to work and sometime have to stop quickly in heavy traffic. The front end dives a little too much for me so I am working on that. If the 20w is not enough for me I might go either heavier or stiffer springs.
The bolt on the bottom is not a drain bolt but rather holds the cartrage. It can be used to drain the oil if the internal parts are pulled per my instructions.
