Replacing fork seals on inverted forks. Part 2 of 2

[@yungoldhead215]

I am a Harley Davidson technician and this video is exactly how we do in the shop... Good job homie

[@neonmike1000]

Can't believe how much simpler your video is compared to others I've seen. Great video.

[@desertmonsoon1]

I've watched all of your videos. Unlike most how to's on you tube. Yours are extremely informative. I personally thank you for your time in making it easier for the rest of us. Thank you sir.

[@woodman39]

Thank you. I need to change my fork seals and this video has shown me what I need to do. Good job

[@robertwest8436]

Getting ready to do seals on an 03 Dyna super glide. Video was very helpful. Great job. Thank you.

[@larryj80]

Just a few comments, otherwise an excellent video as usual. The "spacers" you referred to are teflon coated bushings, which need to be inspected before installation or replacement. If the teflon is in good shape, they can be reused. I also would have checked my fork oil level with an actual fork oil level gauge or another object that you actually insert into the fork rather than the digital caliper you used on the outside of the tube to eyeball the level. Nice work on another great video.

[@nando1pyroman]

I just want to let u know u've been a really good help to me and my bike. im learning alot from ur vids. Thanks dude.

[@IcemanExplorerNinja]

I took my bike to get the fork seals replaced. The guy clearly had no clue. They're leaking again less than a week later. I replaced my own tyres and when I removed my front wheel, one fork leg came out completely! Thank you for your detailed video, I feel I now have the confidence do this now on my own.

[@maaginenmansikka8142]

+Kyle Walker Do you have any idea why did the fork leg come off? I have the same problem with my project bike and just can't figure out why the other one comes off..

[@joelcabello8937]

Very good tutorial, too long looking for this type of information, and you explain it very practical taking care of all the details that are crucial, thanks greetings from Mexico City

[@midas61]

Good lad, well made video without the usual bullshit. Kept it simple and to the point without trying to show off. 10/10 :)

[@DonziGT230]

Nice vid. I would add that given all the work involved spending a couple bucks on new dust wipers would be a good idea.

[@jtsharps]

Awesome how to vid man! I was always afraid to mess w the forks but I'm going to give it a shot now. It doesn't look so bad. Great work! It's a $40 diy job vs $260 @ my local shop.

[@stevesiegel9126]

Made this task less daunting having never fitted fork seals to inverted forks before

[@UncleRobsGarage]

Why thumbs down? You did fantastic!

[@JohnHellstar]

Thank you very much!!!! :D The best 2 videos of usd fork service all over youtube.

[@yuazlr]

It could be 2007 or 2008...Mine is 2008 so now I'm pretty sure I'll do it my self after this demo :) Keep up the good work man!!

[@meh6953]

Zlatan Raskovic I have the same bike bro. Follow me on IG: zmonster4

[@030188mmaxwell]

Great tutorial helped clear up a couple questions I had

[@reevedavey]

Top man,brilliant!!Well explained and given me enough confidence to try my seals.👍

[@jamesmanser6385]

Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@s2xmoto]

Thank you. very helpful. I Was happy to see I made less of a mess.

[@briandouglas8413]

Great videos, given me the confidence to go ahead and do mine - thanks.

[@polnicholas]

Hi Wedginator, I'm a noob in motorcycle maintenance. I liked what you made on video. I want to know if you could do a video of "how to ajust the preload or sag and rebound setting on forks" Thanks for all your nice video.

[@bushyar15]

While watching the video, the bottle he used reminds me of an R/C Car Nitro Fuel bottle which is what I'm going to use at it has capacity markings.

[@gainanjerrylu]

Fast reply! I'll do mine in a couple of days after watching your vid! Thx man

[@arrowofthemorningsta]

Great video! What made you decide to leave the dust seal.. It's only a few bucks and you are already in there so why not change it :) One note, when you remove the forks, loosen the upper clamp bolt first and leave the lower bolt in place while you loosen the fork cap, this way you won't risk extra tension on the threads when loosening. (Also you can hold the fork while you loosen the lower in case the fork comes sliding out :)

[@jameslove6]

good tutorial only thing I'd do is take a scotchpad to the inner tube to get the cross thatching on it and help remove minor scuffs and dings in the bottom of the inner tube, otherwise good tutorial and nice that you explain that the bushing landing can rip the fork seals. Always tape it or plastic bag it and grease it up. cheers

[@yungoldhead215]

Not a good idea

[@markclough4854]

Great vid,time to get the parts ordered now

[@456suzuki2]

brilliant! just one thing though could nt you just undo the bolt in the bottom of the fork and then you might not need the special tools. I will try it later

[@djalkyd]

you took a measurement of the placement of the nut on the damper rod when disassembling everything but didn't use it when reassembling, why? I need to do my fork seals on my 07 gsxr 750 so I just want to make sure everything goes as planed.

[@MrRbass1]

Great vid! I need to replace mine on an 08 zx-10R.

[@StratosnypeR]

Awesome video. Good work man.

[@lampingromeo]

Another Awesome How to vid bro! Great job! :)

[@gainanjerrylu]

Hi Wedginator, Why didn't you remove the inner rod/damper rod out of the inner tube? thanks in advance.

[@sachse0056]

Danke für die Videos. Alles Topp erklärt.

[@johnnymohawk84]

Great instructions

[@chrissmall1419]

Good video! What size PVC did you use?

[@420norway]

awesome video man... where did you get the spring tension tool from?

[@wedginator]

I did check it again, but i must have missed it when filming it.

[@henryandmariemotes3391]

awesome, very detailed on instructions

[@bryancutty729]

This was a great help, thank you

[@siduk79]

... Auto correct .. "If so " no Idaho .. How do you remove the calliper bracket off the stanchion? Thanks

[@siduk79]

Good video, just a question now. Have you ever changed the stanchion itself ? Idaho how do you get the calliper out ?

[@streetclasstv9546]

Do you have to use a driver? Or can you tap it in another way?

[@vicenterr7]

Excellent video, thanks

[@HarrySkipperJr]

Thanks. Great and informative.

[@96xr400]

also what did you hook your straps to at the bottom

[@SuperMarian3000]

the best tutorial!

[@wedginator]

Service manual didn't call for it. I'm not doing a full disassembly or valve emulation so I didn't see a point in doing so.

[@96xr400]

where did you get the bottle you used to put the fork oil in with?

[@motomallen]

Liked and subscribed. Very good video. Top man.

[@lopezl77]

Nice job and very informative. Are these forks similar to those on a 05 Yamaha R6?

[@lindholmax]

Great video! thanks!

[@tunjuelito]

Great video. thanks for the posting!

[@amykappen]

Thank you. Made this job

[@HLIASRS3]

[@19785244]

Thanks buddy👍👍

[@bogdycbr]

[@steviebm6]

Props to u. Great video

[@elyknamdiw]

Hey man I'm doing this job on the exact same bike, I was just curious if you used 2" Pvc to make the driver?

[@Eqwi]

thanks a lot

[@007DRAGAN]

good work dude!!! very nice thaks for it :)

[@RoaldSagmyr]

where can I get a longer front fork leg suzuki gsxr 750 97 model, upside down forks?, + 10 cm

[@Sagmyr]

Hakke peil :-)

[@bradhelms20]

need to replace mine to but cheaper to have dealer do it for 150 instead of buying the special tools right

[@barryhorsfield3591]

Cling film and vasoline

[@iwasadeum]

Ridiculous how ALL my local shops charge $380 + parts for this...4 hours of labor my ass. Going to give this a go when spring comes around!

[@wedginator]

Thanks for the tips!

[@rodrigoelgu]

very good

[@karlkelley3943]

Nice vid...thanks!

[@wedginator]

No markings, but you can make your own marking using a marker.

[@OpticDevilz]

What year is your bike wedginator

[@deano1966]

Good job !!!

[@wedginator]

@DarkFlightVlogs Thx dude!

[@recklessjibing]

EXCELLENT, Thanks

[@dough3208]

Nice job thanks for the vid.

[@michor10]

yeah, but tools are cheaper on the long run. And it's a good thing to learn how to service your bike by yourself too.

[@keithjaysonhidalgo]

this video is not helpfull men. not just helpfull. coz its really very very helpfull. thanks men. now i can DIY on my own. and now i know that my mechanic is stupid, hed didnt removed those rods on his last job. need to change my oil seal now

[@DarthPeachy]

Great videos, subscribed! ;)

[@wedginator]

@420norway I just got it off ebay.

[@jeremywchess]

No Need !! Just measure how much the fork extrudes from the top of the triple tree.. Most bikes run almost flush or the fork tapers at top and would install right under the taper .. Its not a big deal as long as both forks extrude the exact same length .

[@Munky332]

they're trying to bone you i think. I've got a guy who would charge only 350 for new valves (stock), springs, new oil, and seals.. thats total for labor and parts.. this is for 2008 GSXR600 showa forks (On my SV650, I'm swapping them), which are UpSideDown forks as shown here.

[@GonzoEcuador]

You need to ride with me hahahah , new seals frsh wheelies :)

[@reaperisgrim]

my nearest dealer told me 400+ bucks for fork seal replacement, i said HUH? they were all like "there is alot of work involved". i am still like WTF?
