I got a 02 gsxr 600 and have a small seal leak. I plan on getting it fixed soon. I noticed the fork compressing a little futher than normal so i want to add some fluid to it. Now as i understand all you have to do is loosen the top tree and unscrew the top of the fork. 3 questions i have should i have the bike raised so there is no pressure on the forks, will this thing pop up at me when i unscrew it and how hard is it to put back on. I imagine there is some pressure on it by the spring. The last time i did this with my katana the top poped up about a foot and took alot of work to put back in.

 

Can anyone help with my question

 

yes support the front of the bike and turn your preload settings all the way out[the big threaded part on top of the fork] and it should be very easy ,but i would clean the seals or change the seals if cleaning it didn't work
