Good video and camera work. Nice that the upside down forks will allow oil to wash the contaminates down the tube and out of the fork leg. One suggestion would be to re-seat the fork seal before you slide the dust seal back in place. Oil will weep out during the re-seating process and get trapped under the dust seal and attract more dirt. After the re-seat shows no oil coming out of the fork seal, clean the tube, inside of the dust seal, then re-seat the dust seal.

A bit more involving but ideally on upside down forks the process should be done with the forks out and the other way up. Your fork oil looks contaminated with water.

hi.. you need change the fork oil because is white and foaming, use synthetic oil like Motul Factory Line or Motorex Racing Lab.

I sometimes wonder if adventure bikes would be better with conventional forks. Where you don't get as much dirt and muck spayed onto the inner slider.
@billy4rocks3 жыл бұрын
Yeah possibly, and most adventure bikes have some kind of protection on the forks, like mine, they really do take the brunt off the crud, those and downpipes.

Yhis works , and if the seal hasnt sealed , clean it again and pump the forks until you get no leaks
