Let's change fork seals ! | 2016 Yamaha YZ250f |

[@kevscanada4741]

No need to do anything to inner chamber ? I’m going to be doing seals on 2014 yz125. Looks thx same as these forks. Great vid. Thx.

[@danielmozza5439]

I had some leaky seals the weekend only on one leg lost a bit of oil cleaned the seal out with the smallest feeler gauge I had and it stopped now, just wondering can you pop the cap off empty the old oil an refill with new and pop the cap back on?or is there more to it than that, great vid for when seals do need changing

[@mxgryan]

Not really, because you can never get all the old oil out by just draining like that. If you have an idea of how much you lost, you can add oil or keep adding tiny bits until it firms up how you want...but you'll never actually get the capacity right unless you take the fork apart and clean and dry everything!

[@GREGHOLUB]

Awesome video I will be doing this this week on my 2016 yz250f had leaky fork seals! Any other tips for this ?

[@mxgryan]

Take your time, watch more videos! haha

[@kevinhuff3321]

Thank you for posting this. Very informative and clear.

[@vincepeltier1463]

What about turning the rebound screw to the left?

[@VitaliyTSAT]

Is it same procedure on changing front fork seal on 2016 yz450fx ?

[@mxgryan]

Yup!

[@rfair123]

Need some soft jaws on that vice so it doesn't tear up the fork lug like that

[@mxgryan]

Yes. I agree lol

[@kevscanada4741]

Thanks for making this video. Helped me out changing my seals yz125. 👍👍

[@herdfreak2]

This is a great video! 🤙🏻

[@Geoffrey157]

What is the vice you’re using to hold the fork?

[@mxgryan]

Motion Pro suspension vise!

[@juliusgallardo918]

How much oil did you put into each individual fork?

[@mxgryan]

PM me on Facebook and I can check my spec sheet...but usually these forks are right around 350ml and adjustable either direction.

Hello, do you know how many ML of oil should be in my front forks? Yamaha yzf 250 2017

[@mxgryan]

350cc

[@camzfilmz1788]

Are these the same forks on my 2017 yz450f ?

[@mxgryan]

Basically.

[@misterleach]

Watched the vid a few times before resealing my 17 yz250f. How ever I forgot to take the adjustments to full out before disassembly and now the forks are super stiff. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@mxgryan]

That wouldn't make a difference unless they got damaged. Just run them all the way in and then set back to 12 or 14 clicks as a base point, and you're good!

[@misterleach]

Sweet thank you

Can you do a video changing out your gas tank

My gas tank?

[@kaptainkirk719]

@@mxgryan it looks like you have a after market tank was it easy to install

[@mxgryan]

@@kaptainkirk719 that's a stock gas tank...and this bike belongs to a customer so I know nothing else about it Kirk.

[@Ri731]

Very informative actually . One question though, what direction do the seals go ? Does it matter?

[@mxgryan]

Thanks! Absolutely, sharp sealing lip goes down

[@fernandofernandez5719]

Looks similar to my crf 450 r 2008 good vid thought

[@loochiracing]

Are thesr the same forks that are on the 2015 yzf 250? Also 2hat size are th3 seals 46mm or 48mm thanks

[@mxgryan]

Yes. 48mm

[@loochiracing]

Thanks! Another quick question what size tool will I require to remove the top cap on the forks? Thanks

[@willdrums7493]

Did you fill the oil to your body weight or someone else’s weight? (Asking because I’m doing a 2016 wr250f for my brother in law and you look like a very similar build to him maybe a little thinner so I figure your weight would be better to start with than my 63 kg lol

[@mxgryan]

While you can adjust oil usually about 50cc to help compensate some, really oil level has nothing to do with weight, that's springs. Also this was a customer bike, not my own.

Quantos ML de óleo em cada suspensão?????

[@samuelyeet6006]

So do you not need to drive the fork seal in? Other videos show using some driver I dont have, so I came here to see how you did it and you really didnt show that part at all

[@mxgryan]

Buy the driver, bro!

How much does this cost for labor

[@mxgryan]

I charge $99

[@stevepadilla9729]

didn't say how much oil to use. Plus I thought it needed 7w oil, not 10w. well thats what the moto shop told me to buy. May be for weight of the person riding the bike. My Son is 18 at 190lb good video though.

[@mxgryan]

Hey Steve. I would recommend 5wt for best performance...this guy wanted maximum life without leakage chance and he rides trails slowwer so we went with 10wt.

[@mxr7586]

I noticed after you put the oil in you didn’t prime the rod at all..

[@mxgryan]

I didnt even service the inner chamber bud. Theres nothing to prime.

[@bradymxr4659]

Why would you put it back together with the bushings being bad? Lower bushings was shot.

[@mxgryan]

Absolutely not, those bushings looked brand new.

[@bradymxr4659]

@@mxgryan at 4:43 they clearly are shot so I hope you are kidding! Look again and look at the wear. Lol

[@mxgryan]

Lol clearly you are a suspension beginner so I'll take it easy on you buddy...that side of the bushing you see means NOTHING. The Teflon coating that you check for wear is on the INSIDE of that bushing and the outside of the other bushing. Nothing moves against the part you're seeing, it just sits against the inner part of the fork tube doing nothing. You're not the first person who's made the mistake, I've seen many people glance at it not understanding and replace bushings for 0 reason.

[@bradymxr4659]

@@mxgryan that’s funny cause I know ppl that do this for a living that did my suspension for me when I was racing all the time. That lower bushing also helps with slop in the suspension. Also it has copper on the outside and if it did nothing then all the copper would not have been worn off and have scratches like that one does. They and I also change them now when it gets to that point.

[@mxgryan]

@@bradymxr4659 the lower bushing helps with slop in suspension FROM THE TEFLON COATING ON THE INSIDE. NOT from sitting against the inner tube not moving. I don't know or care who you know, I do this for a living every day, I've been to Race Tech Suspension academy, and you don't have a CLUE what you're talking about. I tried to be nice to you but I'm out of time to deal with your nasty trolling. Get off my page, squid, and go waste some more money on crap you don't understand. Hard to tell how many "suspension guys" have suckered you into wasting money over the years, squid.

Welp nevermind you showed it the second time around, fuck
