Could be a drain plug I guess. I recommend draining and flushing the forks properly anyway. There's no way all the crap would come out of hole that small. The forks are bitch to drain, once You're sure You've got all the oil out there's still a litre ready to spill out on Your shoes at the worst possible moment.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That screw is indeed a simple drain plug.
I have tried on other bikes to 'blow' the seal out using 150+psi air into the drain hole (CB750F Super Sport) and all I succeded in doing was blowing oil out around the fork tube...the seal around the fork tube gives up way before the seal even starts to move out of the fork leg![[Image: sad.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif)
No easy way to do this, but to take them apart.
