Tusk Spring Compressor Review. For motos and ATVs shocks.

In this video I discuss and use the Tusk spring compressors made for removing and replacing springs on motorcycle and ATV shocks. This is an especially important tool to have if you ride adventure motorcycles to get the suspension setup just right for you. If you want a progressive spring this is the perfect tool.

for anyone doing this, use a big crescent wrench to hold each spring compressor as u tighten them. great video tho

Appreciate the review. I try to do as much DIY as possible, too. And always like adding a tool to my arsenal.

This style of spring compressor has been around for decades. I used this style on cars back in the 1980's they work just make sure to apply even compression and go slow!

[@advmatt]

Same here. I have changed a lot of auto springs with this style. I was happy to find a smaller version.

Dude how’s your wrist feeling. Looks like you have your strength back in it.

[@advmatt]

This was filmed before I broke it. The wrist is coming along. Just started riding again. Thanks for asking.

how yo take off the collars? il trying to take them off but is not working

[@advmatt]

You have to compress the spring down enough to allow the retaining washer to slide off of the shaft. The spring has to be very compressed.

[@joctancarmona2963]

how you take the tool off to use it in te other spring?

[@advmatt]

Slowly. Back it off 1/4 to 1/2 a turn each side until it is loose.
