Good video and camera work. Nice that the upside down forks will allow oil to wash the contaminates down the tube and out of the fork leg. One suggestion would be to re-seat the fork seal before you slide the dust seal back in place. Oil will weep out during the re-seating process and get trapped under the dust seal and attract more dirt. After the re-seat shows no oil coming out of the fork seal, clean the tube, inside of the dust seal, then re-seat the dust seal.

Handy tip mate 🤙

[@toby7504]

I saw Mark Victor uses this in bikerbits some years ago.. Works brilliant. Used a homemade one on a mv agusta and its not leaking yet. Have a nice weekend mate🍻🍻

[@billy4rocks]

Yeah I remember that vid, he’s fork was off the bike if I remember correctly, that’s a good point actually, you can make a homemade one out off plastic milk cartons.

@@billy4rocks its one of those gadgets you suddently need and dont have in the garage.. 😀

[@paulsire]

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Sara, I always find that if you want to record sound, it’s always best practice to actually plug in the mic. 😩😂

[@tomtintin80]

[@BikerBits]

Nice one Billy! 👍

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Mark. ✊

[@johna6968]

A bit more involving but ideally on upside down forks the process should be done with the forks out and the other way up. Your fork oil looks contaminated with water.

[@allun13]

....and if they do need replacing, our mate round the corner does them..... he did Mine last week!! Wish you did this vid earlier!

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Allun, yeah anything my bike needs doing im gonna drop it round to them. I was in there yesterday actually, my daughter wanted to look at the bikes! 😂

[@jacaretigrao]

hi.. you need change the fork oil because is white and foaming, use synthetic oil like Motul Factory Line or Motorex Racing Lab.

[@billy4rocks]

This bike has long gone my friend.

[@christophermurray1175]

I sometimes wonder if adventure bikes would be better with conventional forks. Where you don't get as much dirt and muck spayed onto the inner slider.

[@billy4rocks]

Yeah possibly, and most adventure bikes have some kind of protection on the forks, like mine, they really do take the brunt off the crud, those and downpipes.

[@Bowlin01]

hmmmmm.........pump that susension Billy...boom chica wahwah!

[@billy4rocks]

🥖💦

[@mml1224]

but y not leave it alone, not sure if this is worth it, ? is it a bandaid if u hav damaged forks alrady, or is it proven to keep ur forks alive and going? not just interested to clean them like that, when i hav 2replace them soon? thanks

[@alexdiaz1512]

That oil looks mixed with water

[@billy4rocks]

Most likely was given the later diagnosis

[@seekingthetruth3410]

Yhis works , and if the seal hasnt sealed , clean it again and pump the forks until you get no leaks
