good to see someone save the stock fork instead of buying a 1,100 dollar replacement.

[@vegasromaniac]

Few people appreciate the kinds of videos .. , glad you liked it

I dont own one of these yet but I'll be watching this again when I need it. Thanks for showing us how it's done. 💪😃

[@vegasromaniac]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and learn new stuff.. I love it...

[@duanecrisfield4879]

Thank You! I have a steering riser so I was able to add two table spoons fork oil each and grease under the seals with out removing the forks they work so much better now!

[@vegasromaniac]

Awesome

[@grandriver3152]

That actually looks like a pretty decent set of forks for a bike that light.

[@vegasromaniac]

they work well i admit , im used to overly complicated dirtbike suspension, but this is amazing for how simple it is

[@E-Bomber]

I have them on a bomber build and have zero complaints after a tough 1500 miles, and I'm 215 lbs.

[@chrisjones8971]

Thanks for video learned a lot, Im having the same issue with stiffness👌👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@vegasromaniac]

Easy fix ..

[@TheFrankster2405]

I’m having issues with it being too soft

[@thack2502]

Your the man !! Just what I needed. Great details and tips Too !!

[@vegasromaniac]

Glad to have you here

[@bradl45]

Cool video, I'm a noob at adding some fork oil to help lube air systems, I tried KYB 01m oil in AER 48 fork, so Smooth, and I used 5wt, belray in a mtn bike, WIN WIN for me!! I'll check out the forks again with 40 hours on them(my AER fork is always dry with just the grease). Can't wait to see how your forks compare on your Sur Rons.

[@vegasromaniac]

I've notice today the oil was uzing a bit on the air side, so maybe having it there was not the best idea.. But I'm waiting on a axle nut and a rear tire to be able to do a proper test.

[@headrecdsm]

@@vegasromaniac What do you mean the oil was a bit on the air side? Would you recommend just the grease and skip the oil? I've heard mixed things on the subject. Thanks for the great video!

[@joehozzy2616]

Love the instructional/maintenance videos. I'll apply the oil bath method to my ebike/mountainbike air forks. Similar concept. Thanks!

[@vegasromaniac]

Glad you like it.. I did a test ride today works great

[@marcxmarcx]

Thanks a lot , that change my ride .......

[@vegasromaniac]

Glad it helped

[@DRZWhisperer]

That should make it feel a lot better on the trail! What about the rear suspension? Does it need a service?

[@vegasromaniac]

the rear feels great, no reason to take it apart yet, i think the rear is running on oil not grease to it will last a long longer

[@mauti8550]

Good work,man!

[@vegasromaniac]

Thanks

[@yup8082]

Thanks for the video! Been waiting a while for a break down of the fork. How is it holding up? Anything you could do different?

[@vegasromaniac]

Yeah you can do this , even better video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXCYWSEqMZ8mpo

[@kjellcorp]

a couple of questions. when i tried to use my air filler, the nipple went inward. get a feeling that it is not right.? should you take the air out when doing this service?

[@PanameRiderDIY]

Very nice job bro ! you put 100ml and 5W ? thanks from France

[@sinnakjell7077]

Informative! thx!

[@vegasromaniac]

Happy you liked it

[@TheCharillz23]

Wonder if your 250fx forks would fit.. compare the two?

[@vegasromaniac]

they wont there are 38 mm and yamaha uses 46 mm i think

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

i just got the KKE FORK!!!

[@vegasromaniac]

Nice

[@FullTwisting]

I see you also have a Sur-Ron with a Fastace ALX13RC fork. Would you be able to do another video like this with that front fork?

[@vegasromaniac]

Unfortunately I sold the surron, and jet the segway. Not because it's better but because it's a gold mine for KZbin videos because it's a clunker and I'm a tikerer.. If I find somebody that needs help with one I'll do it for free and post the video

[@electricexploring9518]

Did it leak oil from the rebound leg after you rode it like that ? Because I did this and it does make it work better however after riding I had oil leaking from the bottom very slow drops what I think happened is the oil you add to the top around 8:00 min started to bubble and you said it went somewhere I believe it finds its way between the cartridge tube and stanchion tube if you check there is two small gaps where the tube screw together the threads are large and no orings .also curious why you never show how to remove dust wipers ?

[@vegasromaniac]

Yes I loose oil.. That's true.. Next I'll try to heat up some grease and pour it in there

[@thegrave2000]

@@vegasromaniac anything but proper disassembly :D Why keep doing this ghetto maintenance, just do it right?!

[@matthiasvonrotz5348]

which fat (grease??) do you use, can't open the link

[@willsmooth45]

Can I use automotive axle grease

[@rivermachine2362]

Vegas RoManiac, can you help? I've the same DNM USD-8 forks, but neither of the two caliper adapters fit those two, very close together mounting holes. I'm using Magura 220mm rotors, and none of the adapters i see on Magura's or Amazon's websites look like they will work, do you know where i can purchase caliper adapters that should fit this fork, for 220mm rotors please?

[@vegasromaniac]

I haven't bother to upgrade .. so i can't say ..

[@vegasromaniac]

Sorry

[@Yurron_nyc]

what does it mean if my pre load knob just keeps turning? normally it stops when i put it all the way soft but now it just keeps turning without coming to an end.

[@vegasromaniac]

Something broke inside

[@donsurron76]

Do you know why when i try to put air in the fork it leaks oil and i cant I put air in it

[@vegasromaniac]

Bad seals .. needs to be replaced , surron doesn't have parts once the seals are gone might as well just buy a new set of suspension

[@donsurron76]

@@vegasromaniac Thank you For the response Do you think i can replace it without tools if i look at these videos fork upgrade it looks very hard and i dont have the tools for the bearings

[@laryangel4082]

Oooo

[@texfromro]

Any connection with the roManiacs from romania? :)

[@jimpartin1144]

What type of grease did you use?

[@vegasromaniac]

I had a choice between mistery grease that it's thick and mistery grease that is not as thick, so I used the second

[@Rippy211]

For high end MTB forks you would normally want to use slick honey or SRAM butter (its the same thing and super slippery). That said any generic MTB suspension grease would be better then nothing. I would also recommend cleaning the forks and stanchions with rubbing alcohol and lint free paper towels and making sure the table is clean too.
