After watching a few vids about making a home made spring compressing tool, yours is way the simplest and to the point. It’s worth watching just for that. Everyone will have opinion on some of the strip / build you have filmed but hey....you did a good job

quick tip: if the damper rod keeps "falling" into the fork leg before you can get the top cap screwed on to it, tie a piece of dental floss or thin string to the rod... and you'll be able to pull it up through the spring/spacer.... cheers

Props. This is an excellent video. My only complaint is the fluid level was a bit of a worry as I bought a kit with 1 litre (1036ml indicated) But, 93mm from the top works a treat and is less than 500ml. If I might add a suggestion- electrical tape wound around the stanchion makes for an excellent, no damage seal driver with less risk of screwdriver damage. Many thanks!

you can just pop the top cap and take the lower bolt off and pulled the cartridge I have done it there is nothing restricting the cartridge once the lower bolt is and screwed it slides right out then you can disassemble the shock normally saves a lot of time

+Toby Nuanes Good info. How much oil do you need to add back though? Also, did skipping the bleeding step cause any issue to you? Thanks.

@simonloko8 жыл бұрын
didn't skip the bleeding. no reason to skip the bleeding .. its fun! skipping it would mean you leaving old oil in the cartridge where its needed most and you can't pout the exact amount of new oil cause you don't know exactly how much is in the cartridge and if the cartridge is empty you cannot fit all the oil quantity in the tube. what i am showing on 14:14 could be skipped if for some reason you managed to fit all the oil quantity in the tube but you gonna have to do it after, the hard way (jumping up and down on your bike) not fun.. :)

I added 1 16 ounce bottle of 10 weight suspension oil to each shock and by working the innards of the shock and turning it upside down and wiping it with a rag and spraying it off with WD-40 it was very clean no issues did this to my bike about a year ago no leaks:-)

When he undid the bottom nut of the fork he could have just taken out the caliper brackets and slide out the seals and redo em from that end...
@joeardolino12007 жыл бұрын
I suppose the reason you strip it completely is to get the oil level right when assembling? I'd prefer to keep the cartridge intact but I think for accuracy you need to strip the innards, this vid saved me £130 so good work bud.

A lot of times people will replace the bushing(s) inside because if a leak is left long enough they are allowed to run more dry than normal and will rub off their coating. It's kind of like replacing a water pump on some cars when you also do the timing belt. It's easier to get to while you are in there and the part itself is pretty cheap so why risk you having to take everything a part again later?

@callummacleod19217 жыл бұрын
Very informative, but you're missing a very important factor. The amount of oil you pour in is not really a factor. It's the oil height that is crucial, It should be 93mm from the top with the spring out and the fork fully compressed, (2008-2010 model 1000rr) That is very important and crucial to your fork working properly.

Hi Simon Loko. In the service manual, it shows that in order to remove the lower bolt, you need to have a special tool called "fork damper holder" (so that the damper will be hold in place when you unscrew the lower bolt). In your video you don't use such a tool. I do not understand whether this tool is necessary. What do you think?

Hey my friend, I have a technical question, I have a 2004 1000RR and my left fork seal was leaking real bad and one day I noticed after riding that the bottom part or lower part if the left fork came out of the piece that is bolted to the wheel and same part that the caliper is bolted to? The fork itself looks to have threads or ridges on the bottom end. I wonder if the oil leaking fork oil caused it to slip out? I was able to hit the front brakes hard at 10mph and it popped back in. What's your knowledge of this? Thank you..

Is that any chance to explain about the oil weight? I am kind of confused. I am 147 pounds and I don’t know what oil to use and if it’s change the quantity of oil in the fork.

+jregz25 i went to my garage and found the tool i took the caliper and measured the thickness it reads out 8 mm. the ones i used was 1 with fine thread and one not the one with the fine thread went through the hole easily the other one was snug you can use something else maybe if you find a bolt that has no threads on the tip would be perfect as long the outer diameter of the bolt is no more than 8 mm it will go in. sry for my grammar.

Probably due to the fact u may have used after market seals. I would advise using only genuine ones or you'll be replacing them time and time again.
