Right. It was off the bike.
I knew I goofed. When I said "Well, I forgot to remove the caps first. Any way to take it all apart from below?" I thought it was implied.
Anyway,
ninja250.org's procedure out-right says to take them off first,...
Quote:
- Loosen all bolts (axle, brakes, triples ~ on bikes other than the 250, loosen fork caps)
- Remove wheel and brakes (DO NOT leave brake calipers hanging by the brake lines. Tie them securely with wire.)
- Remove forks (always measure/mark the height ~ and on bikes other than the 250, measure/mark the angle/location of the clip-ons)
- Remove fork caps, and turn fork over into a bucket or other device that can hold oil
- Pump the fork a few times to work the remaining oil out of the damping rod

...but I can't use that as an excuse because I hadn't read it yet at that time.
