[@GarageAddiction]

Glad it was helpful!

[@skywalker859]

Thanks.. Great video! You made this look too easy..

[@GarageAddiction]

Thanks, it was surprisingly easy compared to more modern forks haha

I did that when I was about 14 , before the internet, I had to rebuild some Kawasaki forks for my KMX 200 , I needed to make a tool , a bolt one a long bar so I could split the and fix them , was around 2000 , I used PJ1 fork oil and new seals , it was surprisingly easy, the insides were different to that for some reason

Just did my kx65 forks, FYI, 1.25" I.D. sch 40 pvc pipe is the PERFECT size for a seal driver. Home depot even sells then in 2 ft lengths

Thanks, glad it was useful!

Is that a spacer you put in the forks to stiffen the springs?

[@josephharrison2945]

Lol asked this before you got to it. Should have listened to the teachers in school

[@Kroviakjm]

Is this the same process for a year 2000 kx65 forks? Mine don’t have the adjustment on top and are shorter

[@mxr248]

Twisting the screwdriver makes it more easier to get the dust seal off.

Super helpful thank you

[@Anthonymciravolo]

On Amazon it shows that the kit won’t fit on the kx65, is the link correct? Just to make sure

[@GarageAddiction]

Yeah, Amazon is wrong, I picked up the set for my 2005. I checked Pivot Works' site and the part number is PWFFK-K19-000

[@Anthonymciravolo]

@@GarageAddiction thank you for replying

[@actunderground]

How much oil is required to fill two forks to the level that you recommend (how many liters should I buy)?

[@GarageAddiction]

1 Liter will do ya, I think it's roughly 250ml per fork

[@OSRSPiggy]

Question will this be the same process for kx60 forks? And can I use the same seal kit you provided?

[@GarageAddiction]

From the parts fiche they look similar but there are no bushings shown. Allballs has a kit specifically for the seals on the KX60: www.allballsracing.com/56-106.html

[@AndyHack10]

Sliding the oil seal on without covering up the sharp edges of where the bushing sits can easily damage the seal. Electrical tape or a plastic bag is all it takes. A cheap oil seal driver is a PVC pipe from your local hardware store. I'd also consider OEM grade parts, All Balls or Pivot Works isn't really the best quality.
