1996 Yamaha Virago XV750 Fork Rebuild

[@sincitypanic7081]

good tip for anyone doing this at home, before removing the fork entirely, break the fork cap loose while it's attached to the triple tree to avoid damaging the fork in a vice and making it easier to unscrew. best of luck to yall!

Great tip on using the 3/4 inch square tube to hold the damper rod while removing the bolt. Worked like a charm! 👍

i have a 1983 Yamaha virago, and can only find the seals not the bushing or clips. any help would be appreciated. great videos

[@Clay-Builds]

I used this kit: dealer.klsupply.com/suspension/k-l-fork-tube-rebuild-kit.asp Part # 15-5368. Correct for my ‘96 virago but I can’t guarantee the same parts will fit your ‘83. Maybe check that website though, K&L seems to stock rebuild kits for a variety of other bikes and model years too.

[@stefanoverardo8937]

Well, can you tell me where you found the kit thanks

[@jamesdewer]

Anyone try the inverted forks from Jetco? Heavier wall since the fork is one of them inverter style. $200 including of course the 40mm crowns and spec steerer. While I was in there I did my bearings. I was front fenderless for a spell but found a similar also metal n chrome. The front end sits 2" higher. Haven't blown the seals in them yet, lol. .

Heyyyyy man great video I have same bike and year if you could shoot me a message or something I have a couple problems be willing to shoot ya some money for your time and info😊

[@Clay-Builds]

What kind of problems?

[@StreetRydn]

@@Clay-Builds the headlight doesn’t work, high or low beam and there is no power coming out of plug when bolt tested

[@Clay-Builds]

@@StreetRydn hmm I’ve never had any headlight issues with this bike. I’d check fuses first. If the bulb isn’t getting any voltage then it must either be a blown fuse, broken switch, damaged wiring somewhere, or maybe a relay. Not sure if the headlight on this bike is relay operated. I assume you’ve already checked the battery.

[@StreetRydn]

@@Clay-Builds no blown fuses gonna have to try switch, turn signals work on switch but could still be busted

[@juanfranciscogarzon2190]

milliliters

[@juanfranciscogarzon2190]

How much oil does the fork carry in milliliters?

[@Clay-Builds]

396ml per the service manual
