RS 457 Fork Oil Seal Replaced | Why is it so expensive? How did it get damaged?

[@cezerkiran7420]

Suggest you to buy a workshop manual ,because there is procedure for mounting front wheel properly more over proper torque values are paramount for front assembly.

[@dilip_varma7]

Bro try to change both forks at a time there may disbalance due to one overhauled one if they pour inappropriate amount of oil in it

[@kankit230]

Any 41mm suspension oil seal will work

[@karthikkrishna2900]

My rear suspension got busted last week. Rear suspension is not available with service centre I have to wait for 10 to 15 days to get it fixed

[@53aviral]

Awesome n congrats bhai n thanks for the idea n helping us know.

[@darksoul4721]

Which brand suspension do they use?

[@kamaldua6861]

Prakash better to use the seal covers, it will help in longer term. Also, why there are mini yellow dots on the entire bike, I have seen this on every RS 457, Any idea?

[@RecluseRider]

The yellow dots are part of Quality Check process where after QC is done yellow marks are done on the parts that are ok, post which motorcycle gets assembled

[@prakashsuraj6495]

I know fork protectors are available, but in my case the fork protectors wouldn't have save the oil seal, as it got damaged because of excessive pressures, like riding on the speed bumps or pot holes etc

[@kamaldua6861]

@@RecluseRider Understood now. Thank you.

[@The_KA20_Rider]

Good one 👍🏻

Bro do you use normal petrol or xp95 petrol??

[@apurvkhot2101]

Hi. I would like to tell you that the way the mechanic handled your fork was pretty bad. He was literally holding the crome plated rod directly with the bare jaws of the bench vice. These bench vice have metal jaws if you are not aware. These jaws may damage the crome plated rod of even scratch them which will wear the crome plating which will eventually cause seal leakage in the future. Also you can check if the tvs apache 310 fork seals will fit to your bike as they are also 41mm. Also you can check with latest yamaha r3 and mt03 as these also have 41mm forks.

[@prakashsuraj6495]

Hey, thank you for you valuable suggestions. Your concern is genuine. At that time I did not have any option neither I have time to explore options. I had to get my bike back on the road. All your suggestions will definable be helpful for the future and for the felow owners😊

[@sojanmonms]

Why mr 2101?? Do u really think mechanic made damage.? Oil and oil seal needs to be replaced every year or two irrespective of ryding. The point here is, the inner tube and fork spring in it alreday damaged before repairing, he had ridden the bike after the damage , which he shouldn't. The fun part is that, due to the damge, the second fork had to do both rebound and compression, for the entire bike, it is going fail later. All this happend due to ryder error, he should have fixed asap., because of his single bike garage he didnt do it that is a mistake. Now he had to replace both forks inner tube and spring also. Im surprised the Dealer didnt ask him to replace both the forks!!! I can understand the ryder is new to this experience, usually parts are delayed and expensive it is part and parcel of motorcycling experience. Im even surprised owning 4.5lack bike, but couldnt change forks!!! Pardon me 👃. The mechanic didnt do anything wrong here, usually it is carried out like this may be he could have added a cloth in between. You're paying less and expect first class quality experience!!!!!! Wow!!! You should criticise the ryder not the mechanic friend. Nothing aginst anyone its my personal experience , you can google or youtube it out , tell me im wrong. As long as the ryder wont experience any handling issues its ok, but an enthusiast point it No.

[@mayukhsharma8465]

Umm it depends upon the rider whether he wants a full replacement or not. And its a very bad way to point out that owning such a motorcycle and not spending a certain sum of amount for maintenance. People have other things to do with money than only to ride a bike. I bet you ride ducati v4s daily to work!! ​@@sojanmonms

[@apurvkhot2101]

@@sojanmonms Bhai yaha pe mechanic ne damage kiya ya nai kiya is cheez ki baat he nai chalri hai. What I was trying to say is crome plated rods and tubes ko aise directly vice me nahi pakadte hai. Usko either kapde se lipat ke karte hai ya aur ek mechanic ki help leke karte hai. Mai mechanical industry se hu. Humne hardchroe plating kar ke li hai pehle. Toh handling se jo problem ho sakti hai wo maine bataya.🤷

[@sojanmonms]

Hi apurv,100% sahi hi, about chrome plating tube, but what i meant by handling is the front end damping feeling of the bike, because there is no proper compression and rebound the spring takes the excessive stress due to this bend could have happened . I never meant by the way the mechanic handling , but i meant handling by front end feeling with the chasis. What ever u said about the tubes u have had the experience and u r right, i didnt have any experience with that regard. Pardon me on writing in english, hindi is my second language it is easier to type in english rather than hindi

[@thefastelephant94]

Air gap not measured. Don't blame Aprilia. Get work done from authorized workshop.

[@motodrummer6389]

Great video brother but you should have change the oil seal of both the suspension because one will be softer and one will be harder . It is recommended to change both at the same time.

[@prakashsuraj6495]

Its better not to disturb the other suspension until it leaks

[@srirambaskaran5546]

It's better to change for both. Now it will be again uneven and again oil leak will happen

[@motodrummer6389]

@ yes true

[@ExoticsChennai-ee6yd]

tuono , will u buy one ??

[@dragoonxgamer]

its a naked version of rs457? right?

[@prakashsuraj6495]

Not sure yet, will have to see after its launched

[@varun1036]

Price is nominal for this imo... Even for my FZ they charge 1400 for the front 2 suspensions...

[@neil9381]

The way they have kept the bike upright is dangerous... What's the recommended volume of fork oil in each side?

[@prakashsuraj6495]

There is no official number mentioned for the fork oil volume

[@neil9381]

@prakashsuraj6495 it will be mentioned on the service manual owned by the svc, wrong volume will impact ride and wear on other parts..

[@srinivasaiims]

After replacement is the travel uniform on both sides ? Is there any pull towards any side ? ​@@prakashsuraj6495

[@jakemore8597]

Hi. Does using a fork seal cover prevent this kind of incident ?

[@sepoyyt5225]

Might

[@ronishane]

Actually all bikes comes with dust seal .... no need such but for peace of find you can install fork cover .... anyways in this case may be it was a faulty oil seal from factory itself ....and some speed bump or pothole started oil leak

[@jakemore8597]

Thanks for the replies. I bought a fork seal cover and installed it on my 457 a few minutes back.

[@prakashsuraj6495]

In my scenario the additional fork seal cover wouldn't have saved the oil seal. The seal leaked because of excessive pressure, while riding on potholes and speed bumps regularly

[@arkodaybasak7799]

Is it not covered under warranty?

[@Devansh_is_live321]

i got full new front shocker

[@prakashsuraj6495]

No, this is a ware and tare part for which you don't get warranty, warranty is for manufacturing defects.

[@subhajithazarika9055]

Its a major drawback for usd forks it gets leak very easily

[@vinaychinthla314]

Bro get that oil seal protector

[@prakashsuraj6495]

Yeah, will get that soon

[@Bishal-d1m]

You should have installed fork seal cover

[@prakashsuraj6495]

I know fork seal covers are available, but my seal leaked due to excessive pressure, like riding fast on speed bumps or pot holes regularly

[@abhirkonvict1]

I think its of yamaha Fz !! 41mm

[@prakashsuraj6495]

Not sure

[@abhirkonvict1]

@prakashsuraj6495 coz yamaha fz is also 41mm fork!

[@AkashPaul-ql1fu]

​@@abhirkonvict1fz has usd ? didn't fz come with telescopic fork ?

[@JH09SUMIT]

Leaking seal doesn't necessarily means its broken.. sometimes there's dirt stuck in between that you need to clean. Use a "sealmate" tool, or just make one with plastic. I don't know why such people with no knowledge buy these kind of motorcycles.. just to throw money at it cluelessly.

[@anonymousryuk6273]

2000 for that rubber that's way too much

[@Rockstar_london]

Fitting, oil , labour 😅

[@anonymousryuk6273]

@Rockstar_london labour would have been 500 max and the fork oil is 120 rupee can and that seal costs 300-500

@@anonymousryuk6273 for two forks , use a calculator

[@ronishane]

Max Price Should have been 1000 Rs ...agree this way overpriced for aftermarket job ...

[@AkashPaul-ql1fu]

​​@@anonymousryuk6273no. 500 for labour, 700 for 2 oil seal (yes usd has 2 oil seals , atleast ktms have it) , 300- 400 for good brand fork oil. They are charging 400-500 extra because "Aprillia" + the part is secret ( all same diameter usd forks have same oil seal)

[@FindMindful]

Make sure you visit some good garage

[@karanjr7651]

Very bad work and handling. Don't know if that guy even filled proper company recommended oil quantity and gripping it with vice is very bad. Please show some more love for the bike and service it properly where it's handled properly 🙏🏻😔.

I am unsubscribing ,I asked numerous questions on different videos about this bike and you've never answered one. You have a channel with subs , and you should be active within your channel. Good day

[@yashdabhade8326]

😂😂

[@jakemore8597]

@cableguy6843 The software comes with the bike when purchased from the dealership. They ask you to install the app and show you how the apps features work. Not sure how it is in the US. Aprilia USA's website has that as an accessory its called the APRILIA MIA MULTIMEDIA PLATFORM PMP 3.0 Note- pasted my reply once again, since this was your last comment.
