Awesome video! Thanks for making it! For those trying to seat that seal, an empty tube of caulk is the perfect diameter! I didn't want to have to go to the store to buy pipe, so I had to improvise 😂

That was a fantastic explanation. Thank you. I was told this would be really difficult, but it looks more time consuming than it is difficult. Great video.

Great video, thanks for the upload. If I can add some value. Easier to remove the top fork cap whilst lower fork yoke is tight😎 Good time to fit fork gaitors during reassembly. . The 'Teflon thing' is a fork bush. Original oil is 10 weight not 15. I run 5 weight and it's far plusher on road.

Hi! Sorry, but the long spring direct is wrong. Turn smaller spring pitch end must face downward. Write in manual. Good luck. Bay!

Fantastic walk-through. Thanks for posting it. DO you know what diameter PVC pipe you used? I'll need the same one for my 2014 Weel Thank you!

Always told that the tight end of the coil on the spring faced down? confused now lol...

My Seal is 43x51 mm so I am selecting a PVC pipe to slice, 1&1/2" ID x 2" OD, then cut it open to slip on&off either sideways or off the top O/O°

Clean the parts with brake-cleaner. Thatway you won't contaminate the new oil. And buy some seal-drivers or at least some fitted PVC pipe.

@@motardsquid it is possible I was not paying enough attention. Have you changed the bearings from the rear suspension? I will have to do this job in the near future, but in my country is stil cold.

In my trip to utah i busted up my seals. Offroading on a haevy bike does that i guess.

Watch out for those bolts holding the plastic wheel splash guard. Suzuki used some reaaally soft metal for that one and it corodes and locks itself in it's thread... I just broke it after 2 hours of hammering and cursing. Not even an extractor did the job, it just chewed trough it. So, do yourself a favour, if you manage to get it out... REPLACE IT WITH SOME STAINLESS STEEL ONES OR AT LEAST ADD SOME MOLIBDENUM DISULPHATE VASELINE ON THE THREADS SO YOU DON'T END UP LIKE ME... I have to go now... I have to get that piece of screw out somehow... FUCK!
