SHOWA BPF FORK SEAL REPLACEMENT | Kawasaki ZX10R Big Piston Forks

[@zoltan4581]

Nice vid man! A few things I would consider adding. for zx10r -(11-15) Oil type Showa SS-19 or equivalent. Fork Oil Level (fully compressed) - with rod assembly installed! Standard: 85 ±2 mm (3.35 ±0.08 in.) - NOTE - After more than 10 minutes, oil level is 76 ±2 mm (2.99±0.08 in.). Move the piston rod assembly up and down more than 10 times in order to expel all the air from the fork oil. Move the outer tube up and down more than 10 times in order to expel all the air from the fork oil. Torque - Front Fork Clamp Bolts (Upper): 20 N·m (2.0kgf·m, 15 ft·lb) Handlebar Clamp Bolts: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18ft·lb) Piston Rod Guide Case: 90 N·m (9.2 kgf·m, 66 ft·lb) 🏍🏍

Thanks for the tips and torque specs!!! Your rock!

[@HighGrade_FireBlade]

Manual calls them bushings because that’s what they are. A bushing is a metal lining for a round hole that houses a sliding or rotating shaft or stanchion with the purpose of improving fitment and reducing friction. A shim is a washer or strip of material that is used to align parts, alter their fitment, or reduce wear.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Thanks for the correct technical definitions.

Bro, for the piston rod guide, I left the forks on the bike, removed the top cap then put the axle through both forks and broke the torque on both inner pistons. Made my life so much easier.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Thanks for the tip!

[@BoltBucket]

love the tune ever since Gone in 60 Seconds

[@MonkeyButtRides]

I know right!!

[@RoadsOfOz]

Love the backing track (except when it is used for squats). Been trying to get motivated to do the Honda and the Ducati Darmah front forks. will get to it one day.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

I wonder what the Darmah forks are like???? Sure there is a video out there somewhere for it.

[@RoadsOfOz]

@@MonkeyButtRides I want to replace the springs to suit my weight as well. Just waiting to get the motor done first.

[@BoltBucket]

Well done mate I dont have 5he gear to do it myself unfortunately

[@MonkeyButtRides]

Thanks BoltBucket!

That looks like even more of a pain than a standard upside down! Big piston forks are awesome though.....nice job amigo :) They also always feel so so nice when they're done eh :D Worth the work :) Those multi axles weird thingys are very handy!!

[@MonkeyButtRides]

They actually weren't to bad, mostly just different then what I'm use to but now that I know how.....bout the same LOE, thank you sir and yes feel great getting them done. Aren't they!!! Love tools like that.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

@@MonkeyButtRides Ah ok, just a bit of learning so :) 2 years of smooth forking now :P Yeah me too, especially when if you just pick it up it looks uesless :D

[@banditryder4696]

What did you use to get the retaining clip out?

[@MonkeyButtRides]

If you are referring to the retaining clip above the seal, I just use a very small flat tip....otherwise I'm not sure what you are talking about.

[@sohandas1746]

Bro which grade fork oil have you used

[@MonkeyButtRides]

The manual calls for SS-47 but you can substitute a 7wt or in my case 10wt for oil will work just fine.

[@Maruti_motoshop]

[@MonkeyButtRides]

[@mickeymouse4897]

No clue how to install bushes or oil seals (Animal) comes to mind.

[@MonkeyButtRides]

"Bushes"...? It's not a gardening video or channel?
