Cool project, hope we get more info. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video.

Great job. I have noticed some other's don't use lock tight on the allen bolt at the bottom. Nice to see you didn't miss that part. 10/10

2020 z900..6k mi. Both fork seals leak...I don't do wheelies ..I'm just a canyon carver..no hoonigans. This seems to be a common defect..I love the bike,but may have to dump it,cause this is BS every 6k miles

Can you provide me with a link as to where you purchased your pin vice? Thx

Thanks , very helpful to me :)

Is this the same cb1100 that you removed the engine? I would love a detail breakdown of mods on the bike

Hey there I'm about to do the same as I have to rework the engine. I'll be making the same sort of support. Thanks a lot of the clear ideo this actually has been the best video I have found. I also run a channel where I am sharing all things abou tthe CB750f as I record my journey from rookie to hopefully a well all round mechanic one day. Thank you again for making this video !

What about a shaft drive bike? I've got a cb1000C to pull, I'm down to the shaft drive, any tips on how that come apart?

So on my Aprilia sx125 the glass is broken and everybody told me i need a new rear brake master cylinder but it is expensive and i went to yt to see if its replacable and found this, you saved me 300€ man ❤

Hi, would you possibly be able to advise how to replace the fork seals on a 1978 Malaguti Ronchino RC50? it has no oil drain bolt at the bottom and I'm at a loss for how to remove the fork from the stanchion, thanks

Very helpful, thanks a lot!

Thank you Tom. I looked everywhere for a video addressing how to service standard damper forks, especially showing which way the seal goes. There's not much on the Internet and this is the only one with clear instructions.

Great video. My problem is that the inside of the fork is turning while i turn the allen head bolt at the bottom with my ratchet. i m hoping that a friends electric impact wrench will undo it.

Gotten through 2 of your videos now and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I have a drive way full of bikes I bought each family member through the last 50 years; and ended up with each of them back when they could get them running again; a new guy moved in across the street and cannot get that steel spacer tube pressed back inside; after installing the spring and washer. I do not remember ever having the same issue when changing out different length front fork tubes to adjust handling / cornering; but it has been 1 1/2 to over 2 decades since I have done this task. Any Idea why he is having this problem; I gave him four different shop service manuals for various bikes; but figured the shop service manuals I had for my track bike; a 2009 Buell 1125R to get a general idea. His steel tubes like the one you put in during this video; is a good 8 - 10" long, and no matter how hard or how big of a guy tries; it still sticks out a good 4 - 6", and there is no chance of putting the top cap nut on it; something isn't right; however, I have never owned a 2001 Yamaha V-Star 650cc bike before. Addendum: It has been since 1986 when I replaced my front tube's with 4" over forks on my 1st new HD 1100cc Sportster Custom while stationed in Germany; and 15 years since I put 2" over front fork tube on my second new 1999 HD Softail Night Train, ( Which I still ride today ), when not toting around ole girl on a 2011 HD Road Glide Ultra. Any insights would be appreciated; the good new story is; I told him; it is only difficult the first time .. lol, like most every thing.

Like Jerry W Davis mentions (2 years ago) how to do you properly remove the caliper from the bike? and how to do so without spilling brake fluid everywhere?

I always felt the folks who ask why lack any imagination. There are so many questions to ask here and then you get a why? WTF? 😳

I noticed Peter using the choke once the bike was running. What is it connected to?

Why?

Thank you for showing us this Tom! - a sturdy jack on wheels with a special adapter and having a second set of hands surely makes this job a lot more managable 👍 I also made a special adaptor plate for my jack last time I installed the engine in my CB1000C. Next week my son and I are installing the engine in his CB750F 😊 BTW your bike builds are work of arts!!!

Great vid!!

Tom you need to do more videos. Too bad you didn't make one on the engine rebuild. Would have made a nice series of videos.

Love them ol bike's. Wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze?

Beautiful bike, and good explanation

Very cool, Tom. Love those hondas

This is the only video I’ve seen anywhere that mentions cleaning the pressure release hole. Thank you for the video and guitar string idea.

Hi Tom would you have any idea where I can obtain new sitre glass for a BMW R850R 97 Model. I am in Australia and cannot find here? Regards Chris Rogers

This helped explain the fork assembly/seal removal a little more for me as I'm doing my Honda cm450 fork seals with no previous experience. THANK you for making a clean cut video and explaining what you have!

Great video. I appreciated your teaching method; straight-forward, knowledgeable, clear and concise. Cheers.

Can I send both my clutch and brake to be redone? 2006 Honda VFR800i. If not where can I get the parts to try it!

Motorcycles are often different. There are pistons that are opposed. A BIG cable tie is useful to hold back the piston that moves first.

Hey Tom, how would I remove plunger if frozen in the front master cylinder.

Holy crap- I hope you didn't pay for these runs. At first I thought the clutch was slipping until I realized the idiot didn't have the back strapped down. And his technique with the RPM and getting a clean run was shit as well. Complete ass hat amateur.

Thank you!

Just about to start my first fork rebuild. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge!

Hi,can I ask,which. way does spring go in,black cap first or open spring first,thanks

**PERFECT**

A very easy listen of how to do seals. Excellent

Where do you buy the glass from ?

Excellent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Iam sankar iadian mechanical work your number please

Thank you great video

I make this guide and works! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqeYaKN3qNmanMU

Tom, good video, From experience , sometimes it is very difficult to undo the lower allen key bolts, I like to try and crack the loose while still under tension before removing forks from the bike. Also a mention that be very careful to not cross thread the upper screw caps as they have a very fine thread.

Thanks for the great video Tom. I believe I am looking at an engine removal on my 83 1100F. The Primary dampers seem to be getting brittle and are making the familiar "clunking" noise. Wish there were an easier way to replace them other than splitting the cases. Honestly, I dread the thought.....

Thanks for this and also your stunning performances in The Apostle and Tender Mercies.

Thank you

oi

Hi Tom, do you have a video for 1975 kawasaki z1 900 fork seal replacement? Thank you
