[@vegardberve]

That last shock for the 525 was exactly what I asked for on your last Gospel episode. Now I have no excuse for not tearing into i. Thank you, just what I needed!! Punk rock and DIRT BIKES 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@highlandcycles]

Right on!

[@richardhartley7094]

I am never tried of watching you do suspension stuff it’s thanks to your videos I now service my own forks and rear suspension, donating parts to help a customer out is super cool too👍👍

[@coloradocrawler2010]

I’ve got to service my AER forks soon. Thanks for showing us that it’s not black magic in there.🍻 Punk music rules! 🤘

[@highlandcycles]

You are so welcome!

[@brendonchase9460]

Man iv been studying my 2003 rear shock trying to figure out how to get it open :) and by the way you hammered that cap on its just stuck on. Thanks, love these vlogs. Look forward to your tech, camera close up vlog.

[@highlandcycles]

Glad I could help

Not sure what year that 525 is, but my 06 didn't have that sleeve. I seem to remember back on a forum or two that folks were taking out that bushing and sleeve.

[@highlandcycles]

Pretty sure it’s an 04,05

[@DeadEnduro]

Do you have a video with the upgrade items that you installed into your 2023 XC aer spring

[@highlandcycles]

My aer spring is stock. I was talking about how the new forks had upgraded parts

[@highlandcycles]

From the factory

[@coloradocrawler2010]

Show us your method to remove a stuck swing arm bolt (I’m sure one will come in eventually).

[@highlandcycles]

I have that method. Spoiler alert. Air hammer

[@coloradocrawler2010]

@@highlandcycles I figured brute force was the way to go.

[@andrecontois8510]

What wrenches are the ones you briefly show in the toolbox with the flex ratcheting head and the black and orange handles? At 15:50 ish

[@highlandcycles]

Those are old matco gear wrenches. They don’t make them anymore but they are my favorites

[@kevinearls7496]

What all would you replace for a 40 hour service on a 6500 kit? Thinking of doing mine...oil, bushings and seals? I've been collecting all the tools, just trying make sure.

[@highlandcycles]

Oil, seals and bushings is all. It will be like brand new

[@bradleymuha4861]

I’d like to know how to waterproof a 23 300xc, I hear people put dielectric grease in the electrical connections. Can you do a video on this?

[@blakebaumer2675]

Any tips and tricks on removing those connectors would be appreciated too. I'm getting better at it slowly but surely.

[@motoxposse]

So what’s your engine oil trick on the aer chamber? I use engine oil in the outer tube on the air Side and suspension grease on the inner chamber piston.

[@highlandcycles]

I put just a few cc’s of 10/40 in the spring side. Keeps it lubed up and smooth

[@brandont315]

@highlandcycles I was wondering the same thing. So, do you put the few cc’s of motor oil in the inner chamber where the air goes as well as the fork tube, instead of suspension oil?

[@highlandcycles]

@@brandont315 only inside the air spring. Normal fork oil in outer chamber

[@James-nc2ed]

How did those forks even move with that oil 😮

[@highlandcycles]

Great question
