フロントフォークOH VTR250 Front Forks Overhaul How To

In this video I show you how I changed the oil, and seals on my Honda VTR250. I hope this is a help. フロントフォークOHを挑戦しました。参考になったら嬉しいです。
The audio is a mix of voice over and live. Sorry for the inconsistency.

Thanks for your video

Enjoying it as my first bike 🏍 ❤

[@markyounger319]

Excellent video! My VTR250 arrives in a few days and I am thinking that I will be doing the front fork oil change soon after... Is it an oil and seals change every 10,000km or just oil?? I suppose if the seals are worn, then they need to be replaced regardless... I'll be using your video in my garage to redo my front forks for sure! Thanks for making this video 🙂

I have a 1988 VTZ in Shikoku, but this is still really helpful. A bilingual VTR repair video - love it! Thanks!

[@MotorPsychJapan]

Owen Wade Cool! Good luck with the maintenance.

[@385x01y]

This was very educational.

[@MotorPsychJapan]

Thanks, it's fairly straightforward and once you do it, it'll be a quick job the next time around. I think next time I'd probably be able to do both forks in an hour maybe less.

Love your channel! Awesome and helpful tutorial keep up the good work!! 😀

[@MotorPsychJapan]

Glad you like the channel. Thanks for the sub. Stay tuned, I have the stem bearing video I need to finish editing and some more maintenance and mods coming up soon.

[@katsugi183]

Awesome tutorial ^^ no worries about the audio ^^ Cicadas are pretty okay to me ^^

[@MotorPsychJapan]

Thanks. It's not easy getting all the clips and explanations while doing the maintenance the first time. Hopefully it'll still be a help to someone trying to do this. Cicadas = the sound of summer in Japan. :)

Awesome and very educational video! Ive just changed my VTR 250 fork oil seals following this video! Wondering what aftermarket handlebar do you have on your VTR?

[@MotorPsychJapan]

Glad you found it informative. I just changed the front fork oil (after about 25,000 km). The seals are still good. The handling is much better. The handle I have now I got at a second hand shop and it came with the brace, so I can't say for sure what the brand is. But it looks like a Hardy handle, which might be sold only in Japan. Not sure.

[@tomh3644]

Motor Psych Japan cool! i was thinking to get clip on but will look into that too!

[@simracingsouthaussie9130]

For some reason I find the Japanese speaking incredibly therapeutic 🤣😅

[@DRideVlogs]

Nihongo level 100%🔥🔥🔥

[@Lordy23]

This is awesome, i have a vfr i need to redo oil and seal, this helps alot! did the 2000grit sandpaper work on the fork tubes without damage?

[@MotorPsychJapan]

I think if you're gentle with the sandpaper 2000 or higher, then you should be able to polish it with compound or a similar polish to get it real clean.

百聞は一見に如かず、、とても参考になりました。

[@nathantaylor4538]

Do you really need to pound that seal in like that?! Did you put anything on the seal to avoid damaging it as you sent it home? Also, why did you need to raise the rear wheel of the bike? Stability? Thanks, I like your vids and am looking to do this seal renewal soon. I have one that’s leaking badly, and anyway they are due for it...

[@jeffball6108]

Great vid. Do you know if there are any performance mods for the little VTR?

[@tonykartracer8032]

How much fork oil goes into 1 fork?

[@竜太マーク]

VTR250を購入しようと思うのですが 動画に紹介されてますバイクは何年製造のVTＲですか？

[@MotorPsychJapan]

VTR250はとても楽しいバイクですよ。このバイクは’９７−’９９年の初期モデルです。マフラー、アンダーカウルなど変えましたのでちょと見た目は違います。 エンジンカバーとフロントフォークはゴールドになってるのは’９７−’９９年で、エンジンカバーとフロントフォークがシルバー変わったのは２０００年モデルからです。２００２年のモデルからタコメーター付きです。

[@hisadayy]

sweet, a fellow american? living in japan. I:m from Yokohama, where are you at? I also own a vtr 250 and i:m gonna give this a try. thanks!

[@MotorPsychJapan]

+Yuta Hisada Not American, but a lot of people say I sound like I'm from California. I'm in Kashiwa in Chiba. I sometimes make it out to Yokohama. The VTR250 is a great bike. Good luck with the maintenance.

[@swagmastermike]

What kind of oil is used to replace?

[@MotorPsychJapan]

+Michael Laguna The service manual calls for Honda Ultra Cushion Oil #10. I used Yamaha Suspension Oil G-10, as that's what others use here in Japan and is easier to buy online.
