This video really helps with most bikes I see. I have the 2001 Kawasaki 1500e classic and it has the same top of the folk opening. Wish I had that gadget you made. I will search to see if they sell anything like that. Thank you so much for the video. I love it.

Good video, my F800r had bolts on top of the fork tubes instead of that crazy clip. Was very easy to remove. Changed the fork oil and brake fluid every season.

[@Makedonialainen]

Can you tell me, what is oil cpacity and level for bmw f650gs (K72) 2010 twin. It's hard to find any info...

Bonjour. Comment changer le joint spy quand il fuit ? Traduit avec Translate. Merci. Good morning. How to change the oil seal when it leaks? Translated with Translate. THANKS.

[@bjk311]

Is it possible to do a fork seal replacement?

[@rogereastman3187]

So, as a mechanic myself, I have a question for you. Since new seals are relatively inexpensive, and, changing the oil is a reasonably time consuming job....wouldn't it make sense to replace the seals with new ones, even though the old ones weren't leaking yet...???? Your thoughts?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Roger, normaly I change the oil when renewing leaking seals. In this case the seals where still perfect and I just needed to change the forkoil as its a secondhand bike, and you never know if the forkoil / seals where changed by the previeus owner. So thats the reason for not changing the seals too. But you are right, perhaps it was good to renew them anyway.. 😉👊🏻👍🏻

[@4sstylz]

I wonder of I can do that without central stand on my F800R. Do I neeve to remove the exhaust and use a lifter under the engine ? Seem's not correct to me.

[@joepi5]

Lifter under the engine with a block of wood works fine on an F800r. At least it worked perfectly for me so far.

[@randyburgos]

I have a question you might be able to help me with Sir. I see that on the screen you wrote that you flushed out the fork. What did you flush it out with?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Randy, because I didn't took it fully appart I used a cheap oil. If I would have to take it fully appart, due to lets say leaking seals, I use petrol to flush and clean the inside. Greets, The Old Mechanic

[@randyburgos]

@@TheOldMechanic Thank you so much for that information. Be safe and be well. Happy New Year and thank you again.

[@charlesberlanga4452]

What kind or brand of toilet paper do you use in the shop?

[@TheOldMechanic]

😂👍

[@charlesberlanga4452]

Easy huh, if you have an overhead crane system.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Charles, absolute

[@mrdin5332]

What did you use to flush the old oil from the forks?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Gunga, I used cheep motor oil, as its just for flushing you know 😉🏍

[@mrdin5332]

@@TheOldMechanic Are there solvents that one can use? BTW I like your "All Purpose Tool" !

[@TheOldMechanic]

When I take the frontforks fully apart I use petrol. But because the oilseals where still okay, I didn't took them fully apart you know.

[@timoterror788]

easy - but not for me 🤣🤣💪💪
