Awesome video. Thank you. KLX400SR is feeling much better.

Top-notch tutorial. Thanks!

Wish youde show the lower leg bottoming cone circlip. You can pull the fork apart without slide hammering the stantion slide bush against the guide bush . Pull the upper out through the lower

If I ever have another set of these (or this set) on the workbench again I will try to remember this, thanks!

Hi!! Great video!❤ I am trying to find the tool to tighten the polygon nut of the cartridge. Do you have a link it?

[@purcelloracing424]

Thank you so much

[@conradsimas2191]

Just did my forks - thank you for the video! I replaced my bushings too using an All Balls kit but it only came with the guide bushing and the slide bushing. Once I opened my forks I realized there is a third on the dampening chamber. Anybody have any insight why this isn't standard for a bushing kit? I found a forum on the internet where some person said that bushing wasn't important but on my fork it had the most wear on it.

Very much appreciated.

Thanks Mate For a very informative video, One of my to do lists on the DRZ

I don't understand. We are putting in a spacer to limit the stroke length. Why are you doing that? Does that increase preload? Does that affect the height? I am trying to get info about lowering the bike 2 inches. Thanks

[@virginiamotorrad1952]

In this case the bike that the forks were going onto (a BMW R100GS) is basically designed for a certain ride height. If the front forks are longer, the centerstand and sidestand don't work well and the overall attitude of the bike is nose-up because you can't raise the rear very much. My goal was to match the travel of the original forks, which is published as 225mm but is really more like 215mm. And yes, the preload would be changed because you are adding more initial compression. In this case I changed the springs, too.

[@conradsimas2191]

What Kind of cleaner/solvent do you use for cleaning? That doesn't damage bushings, o-rings, seals...

[@virginiamotorrad1952]

Standard Safety-Kleen solvent. Mineral spirits based. For brief exposure I have never found it to damage most rubber or plastic parts. Brake fluid seals, though... no way!

[@Cnedley]

Do you have to bleed them after?

было бы лучше если бы видео начиналось с собраной вилки

[@albertorodeos497]

the measuring oil makes no cense if u pull the tube to much then ur to low if u push down they u have to much oil better if u used the recommended amount instead of measuring it
