Rather than pour the oil back out of the fork. Before starting the job, take a trip to a major pet store to buy a medication syringe and to Halfords/B&Q/Wickes etc to buy some plastic tubing that fits over the top of the syringe nozzle, then use that to suck the excess fork oil back out again. I would also advise checking the sliders inside the forks for wear and renew if necessary while the forks are off the bike.

I did notice how that spring - a 'progressive' one with variable resistance - came out of that leg the wrong way. Consequently you put it back the same wrong way. The idea is that you want as little mass on the moving part of the fork, enabling it to absorb the smaller bumps without transferring (much) of that energy upwards and hence to you. It also makes for a better continuing contact between the wheel and the road. For the progresivness of the spring action it does not make any difference how you install the spring. Thank you for going through the trouble of making these videos.

Thank you, agreed! I'm reading the Race Tech suspension bible for the second time and 'tighter coils at the top' is pretty clearly stated and explained like this. I just about lost it when I rewound this video and saw it come out the wrong way too. HOWEVER, I have the Haynes manual for this bike open in front of me and it clearly states "On NT models pull the inner tube out, then fit the spring with the closer-wound coils at the bottom, then fit the spacer seat and spacer." The photos confirm this. I'll update when I discover which direction my factory springs come out. *shrug*
@Ozark2213 ай бұрын
My springs came out tighter coils down, so I blindly chose to trust Honda and installed my new ones tight coils down too. The hyperpro manual said "the tighter coils are *usually* installed at the top" which sounds like this might be a thing for some reason.
@mmeijer6353 ай бұрын
@@Ozark221 Haynes manuals, if you persist in finding what you need, can be a help but allow for the mistakes. I usually go by physics and common sense to conclude what is what. And not seldom found mistakes when applied, even my own!

Driving home the new seal is easier by putting the old seal on top of it and sliding a hammer against the fork to drive it down. Thanks for the video though.

Great series of videos. Plastic tube as insertion tool was brilliant; better than the commercial tool I borrowed. One small point the spring seat washer should be below the spacer at the top of the piston not on top as shown according to my Haynes manual.

Thanks for those videos; very interesting. Personally I would have used the engineers vice more, using soft jaws of course, and cleaned the dirt from the fork leg to prevent this contaminating the parts. Also I always run any bolts across my rotary wire brush and CopperSlip the threads. But these videos are FAR EASIER to follow than workshop manuals so thanks again.
