What I great video. So precise and well done. A couple of differences on the WP Xplor 48 from my 21 KTM 890 Adventure R: 1) My bottom bolt is a 7mm allen, not a 17mm allen 2) If changing springs (I was going to a stiffer spring), the inside diameter of the coil was smaller because of the way the top of the coil was welded. I had to grind the id of the coil to allow the top cap's puck to fit inside. I hope exposed bare metal of the coil will not set off a corrosion reaction. When trying to 'move the plastic guide flute downward to allow some gap, then bring up the bolt, I could not get either of mine to budge. 3) Would be nice to use an oil level measurement rather than rely of 630ml +/- 5m but It's hard to find that oil level spec anywhere so I guess just measure carefully is the best option.

Well done video Justin. One item of note though is that when you "loosen" or back out the rebound adjuster prior to disassembly, the internal pin retracts into the fork cap. However, I noticed that for the compression side, the opposite happens. With that, I would offer that the compression adjuster needs to be "tightened" or turned in prior to dissassembly or assembly. Thanks for the effort on these instructional videos.

Thanks for posting this video. I had an issue with my 2022 TE300i that really bummed me out. The rebound was not working at all. The rebound clicker would just spin turning clockwise. Pretty upsetting for a newer bike. After learning how to disassemble from watching this video and buying the right tools I found to my amazement that the rebound rod had become unthreaded and was the issue. I put it all back together and all is well. Great instructions and detail. Thanks!

@mbrick2 жыл бұрын
Your comment was a while ago but replying for others as well. I had this same issue. The small brass pin inside of the cap has threaded out and disengaged from the knob on top. It only happens on the compression side because it is reverse threaded from the rebound side so it unthreads when removing the cap. You can lightly thread the brass pin on the under side of the cap back in by turning it left (not right). Once you feel it stop, rotate the adjuster knob clockwise and it should engage and thread the brass pin down into the cap and then bottom out. This NEEDS to be corrected before reinstalling the cap or the compression will not be adjustable.

@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 Жыл бұрын
You can do what’s called a dump and run. Loosen top clamp pinch bolts. Loosen the fork caps a little. Take forks off bike. Take the fork caps off per the video. Take out spring. Drain oil out per video. Let forks sit upside down and gravity drain about 10 minutes. Pump them a few more times. Drain. If you’re feeling froggy you can spray some Maxima suspension clean in there and drain it out. Sit fork with bottom on ground between your knees. Have the outer tube slid down about halfway. Pull up the cartridge until it gently stops. Put in oil amount recommended by manufacturer. Might have to do a little at a time. Work damper rod up and down slowly to get the air out. Do that a bunch. Finish up the oil. Some manufacturers want you to measure oil height, some just say a ml amount to put in each leg. Put spring spacer back in. Put spring back in. Reinstall fork cap. Seal it up. Repeat for other leg. Basically you’re going to skip taking the cartridge out of the fork and popping the inner and outer tube apart. If you’re oil is just beat, but your seals are good, you can do a quick service like this. But on the next service I would do the full procedure. If you’ve never taken apart before take photos as you go of how things came out.
@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 Жыл бұрын
You could also take the cartridge and base valve out, but skip popping the fork tubes apart. That would let you spray out everything real good. Then reassemble and do the oil and bleed. I’m a big fan of Maxima suspension clean spray. Doesn’t hurt rubber or o rings and cleans all kinds of gunk out. I get two cans per service.
