Kawasaki Heavy industries did not have the fore sight to put a drain plug at
the bottom of the forks.  You have to pull the front end and turn the fork
tube upside down to drain them.  They didn't put zerk fittings (grease
nipples on the steering head or the swing arm either.
Just noticed my 1970 Triumph 650 has all these things.
