I just did that service few days ago and posted it in my native language. That white piston from rebound, exited the upper leg with an allen key, the other end of the Allen key. Those black retainers destroyed me … they exit hard and enter hard… good job sir ✅

That black rubber at 10:17 after the bumper is used to control how much travel your fork has. That's a 20mm offset spacer. Remove it and you'll have a 120mm fork. Add another one and you'll have an 80mm fork. You can also find 10mm spacers. Hope this comment helps someone :)

When I first learned that a Judy can be travelled to 120mm, I was intrigued. But this will probably change the bike geometry too much (not sure if I would really notice... my Judy Silver has voluntarily "traveled" to ~ 60mm, I can't say I notice that all that much 😂. The lockout also doesn't work anymore, which is why I am trying to fix this with a service. I hope it is just a bad o-ring that caused damper oil loss. Will see soon.

Great breakdown and service with clear steps and good advice. 🎉 Perfect. Audio fine for me.

Thank you so much. Just started to service this shock on my son’s bike and those retainer clips were making me mad. This helped!

Great video! Worth mentioning that different years and even different configurations in the same year call for different amounts of oil in the lowers. Just re-did my service after realizing my error (not due to this video). The official service manual is easily searchable online and has a comprehensive chart.

The retainer goes on easy if you heat with hot air before putting. I spent nearly an hour wrestling it. Heated it. Popped on immediately 😊

I'm preparing to do an upper leg service (200hr service) on my FS Recon RL so this video is going to be extremely helpful. The only problem i'm having is finding the 200hr service kit. i have the part number but some kits seem to include the foam wipers and some don't. I'm inclined to get the one with the foam wipers because when i did my 50hr service I ended up stretching the foam wipers out when i cleaned them so they were kind of bunched up in the leg. Update: I found the right 200hr kit so now I just have to wait for it to arrive. Also I have to mention you really eased my apprehension about doing this 200hr service. You made it look really simple.

Awesome Video. When you screw / unscrew the damper / airspring you should put a kitchenpaper inbetween the nut to avoid scratches ❤ love your video, my mtb shop refuses to service my Webshop bike, so I decided to become a bike mechanic now😂❤

@mihaichiriac4808 ай бұрын
Recon is also a low end fork, don't expect much from it. I have a pre-2018 model and I only serviced it once ( because i wanted to increase the travel to 120mm). I've heaed that the new recon can have up to 140mm, that would be extremely nice for a "downcountry" ht.

You can try. Worst case, you put back the old ones until you can find 10mm ones.

I also wondered when he mentioned 5 WT at that step, I rechecked the Service manual and it is indeed 15 WT for the foam rings. That aside, great video!
