This is such a great video. The process is clear and well explained. Thanks a lot.

[@rmatvmc]

You're very welcome. Glad you found this video well done and useful. Thanks for watching!

Rocky Mountain ATV MC when I install the two bushings at the bottom and slide the upper portion into the bottom portion, the bushings don’t stay put. Maybe the bottom one does but the top one slides up. Is that normal?

You have a video that shows how to remove the rear shock assembly clearly showing the location of suspension or lowering components?

[@BikerBenny]

You skipped the fork leg bushing drive in part, or dose it just get driven in when yer driving in thr oil seal??

[@fc1133]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Man you have all the nice toys/special tools.

[@thomasshafer4178]

The main problem I am having is the oil seal is nearly impossible to press in. So I have 2 questions, does the second larger bushing need to be pressed in somewhere? And would you recommend heating or freezing the seal to ease installation?

If only there was a video like this for the 650r

[@rmatvmc]

*bdpa kaknox* The process for the XR650R would be pretty much the same. You would for sure want to follow your bike models specific service manual for proper torque specifications.

Are those fork similar to the 2004 XR400R

[@flipped68]

Excellent detailed video.

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks *Bill Smith!*

[@Megakoolguy357]

This was very helpful, but how did you get that bottom bolt to go on. It just spins no matter what I do. I cant get it to torque down at all.

[@NaziHampster]

Yep, me too. Did you ever find an answer. Anyone ??

[@OldDirtBikes]

@@NaziHampster temp put spring in and push the shock against a wall while torque up bottom 👍 thats the only way i could do it

[@NaziHampster]

@@OldDirtBikes Cheers for the reply buddy. I did find out in the end :) Was a bit of a head scratcher though.

[@Prisonmike89]

Will this work for a 96' XR600R?

[@obliviousthunder]

is there any recommendation as to how often we should inspect/change fork seals?

[@ran7982]

thanks for sharing!

[@jamesc6137]

Im pretty sure these are the same forks on the 04 xr400r. Could you verify this? All good either way….thx for the video

[@ricardosalvatierra7524]

Gracias por el tutorial me sirvio mucho

[@buddywilson104]

Isn't this fork the same as the ones on the XR400's?

[@steves5382]

What mods does the XR have please?

[@rmatvmc]

*Steve S* Stay tune. We have our Honda XR650L bike build coming soon. Be on the look out.
