How to Change KTM WP Xplor Fork Seals

[@TheFreerider1987]

I love when you do how to videos! Thank you I know how time consuming they are!

[@slaverace1]

You're welcome, they do take a lot of time!

I have to confess, I’m a torque-a-coholic. My dad was a perfectionist and a detail freak. It was passed down to me and I in-turn to my daughter. The good news is I only do the real easy jobs on my bikes anymore. However, I really appreciate Jeff sharing his experience with all of us. Thanks as always!

[@slaverace1]

You and your daughter sound like a great team!

[@bhoges5145]

Another awesome video thanks. I'm going to order a kit from you guys so I'm ready when the time comes. Keep up the excellent work!

[@slaverace1]

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the video and I'm loving that vice pan. I might just have to build me one. :)

[@slaverace1]

Glad you like the vice pan - it makes life a lot easier!

@@slaverace1 Oh yes. I know a good idea when I see it.

I serviced my Xplor forks this past weekend, on the left (compression) fork I had a white spring spacer. I did not have a spring spacer on the right (rebound) side. Should there be a spring pacer on both forks? The bike is a 2022 KTM 300XC-W, I'm the original owner, and this was the first time for servicing the forks. Jeff, Thank you for your time.

[@slaverace1]

Hello Wild Bill: The total spring length, including spacers, should be 470mm. Fork springs are often not the same exact length, therefore they use spacers at the WP factory to make them the correct overall length.

[@williambuckingham441]

Thank you!

[@SwormCycles]

110mm was the magic number I was waiting for.....

[@stanleykania7184]

Thanks.. My ktm forks are leaking.. Going to make an order to do it..

[@slaverace1]

Glad I could help!

[@TheFreerider1987]

Do you adjust your clickers at all before disassembly?

[@slaverace1]

No. There is no benefit at that stage.

[@joeybishop7604]

So you don’t clean the fork parts after disassembly? You leave all of the metallic particles in the forks

[@davidbeauvais1364]

If you regularly change seals/oil this is NOT an issue whatsoever

[@joeybishop7604]

@@davidbeauvais1364 if you’re going through the totally disassembly of the forks, then you should spend the extra 30 seconds per fork and cleanse everything with contact cleaner.

[@davidbeauvais1364]

@@joeybishop7604 You shouldn’t tell others that have being doing forever with success and results how to do it. We don’t care cry somewhere else snowflake.

[@slaverace1]

Hello Joey: All parts should be cleaned before re-assembly, as was done while making the video. That short segment must have been deleted during editing, which I do not do.

[@johnfryman4428]

Step one - Throw stock dampners in the Trash. Step two, send Forks to Jeff.

[@hkk210]

tbh i think he'd rather spend his time riding than fixing your forks, hence him making this video 😅

Hello John: Thanks for your comment. I no longer do suspension work for customers, but we have two highly trained suspension techs (Colorado and Missouri) that do installations of our Mule line of suspension components.
