[@dannymagee8202]

Seven years later and this is still the best video of a fork seal replacement I've found. You are an actual treasure to the biker community!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you Dan, kind words there, and much appreciated glad it helps!

Hi just successfully changed fork seals on a 30 year kawasaki zephyr 550 using your video as guidance... never done fork seals before! What a fuckin excellent video mate... so well explained will be back for more... cheers!

[@thejohnnymiles1]

I use how to vids all the time. This is one the BEST I've ever watched. Clear, concise, and thorough. Thank you!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Johnny, glad the videos can help you out.. appreciate you taking the time to say, cheers!

[@alltherestofit8109]

11 years later and I learnt more from this video than any of the others I found. I tried the plastic pipe method and it worked a treat. Thanks.

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome mate. Glad it helped!

[@alistairheys576]

Superbly simple explanation which is easy to follow. No annoying music, no irritating contrived comments flashing up on the screen (as the Americans seem to love doing!)...just someone who clearly knows what he's talking about telling us in plain English how to do the job! Many thanks, Del - you've made the job so much easier! P.S. Very useful tips too.

[@MetricMotorcycleMadness]

This is literally the best video out on the internet for fork seal replacement, Great Job!

[@Moonfleet41]

+MetricMotorcycleMadness Thanks buddy, you're very kind, am glad it could help you !

[@kaylumnewell]

I second that, excellent video!!

[@cavinrauch]

100% agreed

[@dfgrego]

Agreed. Delboy's done us a service with this one.

[@johnnysprocketz]

Your god dam right it is!

[@ianwilliams2867]

Got to agree, this is far the best video, simple, easy, no gimmicks or stupid music and in a workshop just like most of us, no a surgical unit like on other clips. Keep it up Del.

[@williamfoster4268]

Thanks so much for making these videos, honestly helps a bunch keeping my old motorcycles on the road instead of sitting in a garage rotting.

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome my friend, Glad to help!

[@JamesPurcell]

I have never ever left a comment on KZbin, but your solution for a seal driver was brilliant and saved my ass! Fork seals done and I can’t thank you enough.

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome Sir, and welcome to commenting! We really appreciate your feedback, ride safe on the bike, all the best, Del

[@jeffbaker4364]

Hi there from Australia,well i have to say you do have a gift,easy to listen to,no music. By far the number one vid on here,great job mate.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Jeff, good to hear from one of our fellow bikers down under... hope the winter is treating you well down there... thanks for your kind comments, really appreciated mate, all the best, D&P

[@nostranger2u]

I've been riding and wrenching on my bikes since the early 80's and this is the clearest and cleanest explanation of how to do fork seals I've seen! I too build my own tools so i LOVED that large allen wrench DIY tip (i use a giant welded nut on a bolt for my GSXR front axle removal tool). I've always paid the pro's for suspension work, but I'm ready to take on a ZR750S in the garage now! Thank you! 👍

[@udayaranawaka1235]

Thank you soooooo much, even ten years later still most valuable video for repairing bike forks, I follow your A to Z instructions at home.👍👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Most welcome buddy, im glad it helped !

[@mookyzook]

Done this before many years ago before KZbin and even as an engineer struggled. Just thought I'd check this out before I attempted another and glad I did forgot about trying to press the new seal in, now I'm prepared. Thanks for making the job so much easier.

[@Moonfleet41]

You're most welcome mate, like all these things, it's just knowing the anatomy of the job! Glad it helped you, Cheers Del

[@DeeGSXR]

Hi Delboy, You truly are the man!! Also great camera work by your wife/partner!! Your videos, tips and guidance are so clear and professional, setting a great example for all tutorials. My SV650s (1999) fork seal is leaking and I''ve just ordered the kit (Oil seals, Dust seals and Fork oil) off the net. To be honest, I'm not looking forward to the job, but your video has have me more knowledge, confidence and DIY ideas than anything else I've read or watched. Thanks a million bud for sharing your craftsmanship with all of us, and please please keep up the top quality work. Priceless!! Cheers! Belfast fan

[@Moonfleet41]

My word, thank you so much for those really kind comments, I'm glad the video can help you ... it's not a difficult job, just a matter of knowing the anatomy... good luck with it, hope it goes well for you mate, and thanks for watching, ride safe, Del

[@efrainrosario779]

Thank you very much for this outstanding video. You are a gifted teacher who has easily taken the "fear" out of a "scary" job from many of us, at least from me. I must also compliment on your camera operator, she has a steady pulse, does not jerk the video and keeps focus on what she needs to focus on, the class. You make an excellent team. Thanks again.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi buddy, how nice to hear from you, and thank you for your kind words...! Am glad the videos can help you, and give you the confidence to have a go at it.. Penny says thank you too, sje takes a great pride in the filming, and as you said, makes a great job of it ... much appreciated! All the best and good luck with your own projects!

[@peterjones33]

We are a small family run motorcycle training school in the north west of the UK and we've just followed your steps for replacing the fork seals. We have completed the replacement of fork seals on 2 Yamaha xj600's without any problems. Thank you so much for your video and advice. You have saved us a small fortune. Thank you again..............So happy!!!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Peter, that makes me so happy to hear, there is no business i have more respect and admiration for than a Motorcycle Training School... you bring new bikers into the fold, keep our young fledgling brothers and sisters on the right path to a safe career in biking....and more then anything, you take the time to demystify and help them through the joke that is licensing legislation....if it wasn't for you and the hard work you folks do in all weathers, then people wouldn't bother any more and biking would die out in a decade....so if we have been able to help you out in a small way, even if its just with some maintenance, then the pleasure is all ours.. Thanks for watching, and all the very best to you in your business...Kind Regards. Del.

Delboy. Thank you for giving me the confidence to replace the forks seals and a set of bushes on my FJR1300. And I went on to replace a stanchion and seals on my GPZ900. Both sailed through the MOT's. It was at the cost of the materials and satisfaction that I had done it. (and knowing that it was done properly). Once again thank you.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Andy, that's great news mate... we so love to hear that people have got stuck in and taken on simple jobs, it's not complex, as you found, just a little alien to some people with the obvious worry that you may do something you don't understand... but like with all things, once we see it done it's easy... good on yer mate, happy fettling! All the best, Del

[@thecollegeprepschool4486]

You're awesome Delboy! You have a great talent for teaching. I have been thinking about working on my forks for years. Finally need to get up the courage to do it. I learned two great tips in only 5 minutes of your video.

[@ludgidiya3239]

I have the same fears, when I have to do something never done.

Your fork seal driver is genius, this is the only part that stopped me doing this job as I really didn't want to spend a load of money on a driver. Many thanks. Regards

[@darrenlegg778]

wow tools in general are expensive and the only thing i dont have is the 17 alan key but thanks for the tip on making one.i would of never thought of it in a million years.thanks a lot man

[@Moonfleet41]

darren legg Hi Darren, yeah, simple little fix eh?? I used to make 24mm allan keys out of huge chassis bolts when I was a bus fitter, we needed them for the sump plugs on bus engines... mainly cos the SnapOn man offere a 24mm socket mounted allan key, but it was £70!! So you know how it is, you get busy with the blow torch !

[@1stofer]

Thank You !!!! I was pretty scared to do this until I watched this . Just saved me a hundred and fifty bucks!

[@mc1dash1b]

I replaced the seals on my '82 Suzuki gs1100e using a length of plastic pipe that fit precisely as a driver. I started replacing the seals on a friend's '89 750 katana. When I went to drive in the upper bushing I realized my pipe was too small in diameter to fit the newer bike's upper tubes. Your solution to this problem is both simple and elegant. I cannot wait to try it tomorrow as soon as the local Home Depot opens. Thanks for saving me a lot of time and anguish.

[@army96261]

I didn't expect to watch all 30 minutes of it but I did. Great video and very informative with all the steps broken down nicely. Thanks!

Just recently rebuild my first set of forks on a 1988 Kawasaki ZX10 after watching your vid. I cant believe just how easy it was, i have always taken my bikes to the dealers when it has come to fork problems. I could have saved a fortune.

[@Moonfleet41]

There you go Steve... how hard can it be mate! Well done for getting it sorted, and never mind what you could have saved, at least now you can save the money in the future! Cheers, Del

[@CAREERMAN70]

We must think in a very similar way. Clear, simple and concise! You have a gift for cutting through the clutter and making the point very clearly. I have been watching videos, wringing my hands, worried about doing my 2009 Honda Goldwing seals. I was worried because I didn't have a fundamental understanding of how a fork works. This video completely solved that. Thank you so much! From your friend on the other side of the pond! USA

I cant believe that a guy like you have so few views! You have HD footage of a mechanic video that has one of the better explanation I have seen/heard that is relevant and thorough, not only that but you were very interesting to listen to and you can tell you have lots of experience! So glad I found this video, will be changing my fork seals soon, this will be a great refenrence, thanks againg for the great video!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, it's to great to hear that the videos help, and we try to make them simple and straightforward, these jobs are not complex, it's just knowing the anatomy, and just following the steps... if you get stuck, feel free to drop us a line any time and we'll try our best to help... thanks for your support, plenty of videos in the back library, which we hope will also help you, all the best, Del & Penny!

Good morning, hope it's as nice a day weather wise as it is here in sunny Norfolk. I would like to thank you for your instructional video's. I have returned to the world of bike's after over 25 years, inspired by my teenage son and I have bought myself a VFR750, it needs some fettling and a dam good service but with the aid of you and Penny, following your video's has encouraged me and given me the confidence to crack on with jobs like fork leg seals, head bearing's and checking the wiring harness with a tester and other little checks that I would normally have taken the bike to a dealer to get done. I reckon I have saved myself several hundred pounds and gained some great knowledge about my bike and I would just like to say a great big thank you for bringing my shed and helping. Great videos with no flannel and high quality pictures Keep up the great work. Off to rebuild the forks now and hopefully back on the road by lunch time.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Andy.. Thanks mate, thats very kind, and im so happy we've been able to help you to crack on with your own repairs, as you've found im sure, most of it is just basic house keeping stuff, getting an old bike back on the road is all about refreshing the wear and tear, and renewing the consumables... there will always be jobs you will hand over to a technician, thats inevitable, but at least being able to take care of you bike's basic needs can, as you have found, save you a hill of money aye.?. Welcome back to the brotherhood mate, and enjoy your new found freedom.... all the best.. Del & Pennyx
