Another great video! I know a lot of people don't bother, but I do prefer to hang the brake calipers from a bungee cord/similar .. Even if they're strong enough to handle it, I think it's better not to strain the connections/lines. And copper-slip all the machine-screws when re-building... Especially on things like the mudguard fittings - where they're in direct line of fire from debris/dirt from the road ... If they do become corroded, they can be a real nuisance to extract - & so easy to round off an allen/hex head

Thanks so much for posting the video! Your rf900 content is really appreciated. Would say two points to add, the manual says the 350ml volume is the capacity but to measure 105mm from the top when the tube is down to have correct oil added (think it's the page before the capacity ml reading). And secondly to make sure your spanners are both 14mm and thin enough as they can overlap the two components and it's a pain. Plus some of the components are aluminium or soft metal so be careful. Thank you so much again for the video!

Hey adikxx83, a massive Thank You for all these maintenance vids here on YT. For me it's my first motorcycle (green-black-grey '96 900, i believe it's model RT) to work on, and after watching your video's loaded with clear instructions and tips, it's actually becoming quite easy. I've worked on mopeds / scooters before and the technique on a motorcycle like this is even more simple and rigid, but ofc the risk here is much higher because of the speeds etc. for example regarding working on the brakes. So again thank you for all the examples. If you have more ideas for video's do not hesitate, they will be valued, at least by me they will. Cheers, and safe rides. She's a beast.

Very helpfull video! Thank`s!!

[@mcdribas]

very good... thanks.

[@ThisIsyourWorld2]

Thnxx for all the video’s and diy. What mid stand you use?

[@Adikxx]

Abba stand

[@anmolbehl1883]

Thanks for this video. I'll be tackling this fix on my bike soon. I just saw another rf for sale though. It had inverted forks. Any idea how to do that mod? And what is a good donor?

[@Adikxx]

@@anmolbehl1883 you'd need forks and yoke from a different bike. GSXR 750 1991 seems to be the closest to plug and play

Hi. One Question...how much NM has the right Screw from the Frontwheel? The Left has 100NM...Thanks🧐

[@Adikxx]

Hi From the right side you have the spindle and on the left you have the nut. Put the spindle in and get it nicely snug. Then put the nut on and torque it down. The nut holds it all together.

[@thorstenlemmer5320]

Hi Adikxx. Thank You for your Videos! My Suzuki RF 900 is running again. After cleaning the carburator, and other things...no i must change the oil seals on my fork. but, how can i lift the bike? what kind of lift do you have? Geetings Thorsten

[@Adikxx]

Abba stand is with front lift kit is great. Check it out online.

[@Oldschollbikes]

👍👍👍

[@wandoom]

Hello everyone, Hello Adikxx, Is it possible and safe to jack up the bike with Simple Jack lift using an exhaust pipes as a point where to lift a whole thing?

[@wandoom]

I mean, Are the pipes strong enough to hold all the weight of the bike?

[@Adikxx]

@@wandoom i never did that. Probably not a good idea. Not sure though

[@loveandpeace9386]

What motorcycle stand/jack are you usinng, Im struggling to find a good lift/stand to remove the forks on my 94 RF900

[@Adikxx]

I use ABBA stand with front wheel lift kit. Check their site or Ebay for used ones.

[@ericcooper5867]

I put new tyres on mine today as the garages are all shut. My bikes front axel/spindle threads into the left fork and then a nut threads over rhe end same as yours. Any knowledge of why that may be?

[@Adikxx]

Sorry didn't quite understand what's an issue. That's how it should be assembled.

[@ericcooper5867]

@@Adikxx ah okay, I'd seen this video before and remembered that you mentioned the torque values so so i skipped in and as the video was sped up it looked like yours just pushed in, my mistake. Cheers
