To get the seals over the sharp ridge/lip, i always wrap some teflon tape around the ridge. Put a little fork oil on, and the seal goes over the ridge without damage. Good video👍

Very nice, I'm just looking at doing my partners z900 fork seals as they're both a bit sad 😥 if you don't mind me asking how much is it for the z900 fork seal replacement? I've never replaced seals before so I'd prefer someone who knows better to do them!

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

It should take around 3hrs to do the job but you will definitely need the spring compressor to do the left fork leg.

[@brianwildschut1286]

So is it that the left fork has different way of demping than the right fork? Or should they demp the same way?

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

Correct the left and right forks are different

[@millymoo6575]

Perfect! What bike do you ride Steve?

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

I have a couple in the shed. Maybe I should do a video on them 🤔

[@millymoo6575]

@@themobilemotorbikemechanic 100% makes sense.. sure I’m not the only one who’d like to see them?

[@user-mu5vd4pt9m]

Absolute novice but even I understood that

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

Glad you liked it

Shame you didn't film filling the fork legs with oil and bleeding the damping tubes.

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

We can’t film everything 😞
