Ever take a fork apart and go bleed before dumping oil and bleed lot extra oil out the inner chamber? Inner chamber not leak any oil out aslong as not compressed? With just the inner chamber if tip over can leak little out of the bleed holes.

TBT Racing shows how to drill out the piston. I have had them set up my forks and shocks with their "secret" valve stacks and man is my stuff set up correctly. They do many Pro riders in the Phoenix and LA area's. ALSO..Pro tip...use your wheel axle as a lever in the fork lug to help push the leg down so the inner tube protrudes easier.

Sorry you had this issue, it can be hard to determine which side is which. I’ll assure you the video is correct in the placement, and not all oil seals are the same. I wouldn’t ever pay attention to numbers, as I’ve seen things like piston rings, seals, bearings etc. placed incorrectly for this reason. Always refer to the manual, and the manual will always refer to OEM genuine parts. Aftermarket is a different story! Hope this help! Thanks for watching Caden!

Two things.... why didn't you measure the inner cartridge oil height? Second, wouldn't you want the bleeder screw in the the compression assembly before bleeding inner cartridge?

@DanMX2112

2 ай бұрын

Great questions and I hope I can make this clear for you. The bleed screw is used to bleed the air pressure buildup from the fork cartridge, and because it is oring sealed on the inner cartridge, and it bleeds over into the outer cartridge, the bleed screw has no effect on the bleeding process. As for oil height, Yamaha actually states a capacity, I don’t know it but I do know this, that is a baseline to start with. After bleeding the air the manual actually tells you to replenish or refill the oil back up to near the overflow holes, then install the inner cartridge, so, the amount is not relevant if you just fill is up past the recommended amount. Hope this helps, and makes sense 😂

I don’t see how it can, although zeta says the open allows for a softer feel. I haven’t noticed this and honestly can’t figure out how it would affect that.

Hey Daniel, sorry I didn’t respond sooner. The spacer, or washer, must be with the tabs facing upwards. This is intentional so that the bushing does not get pinched in between the spacer and the tube. I’ll post the directions stated from the service manual. “Install the oil seal washer with its projections facing upwards” Hope this clarifies. Thanks again man!

Not yet, but Yamaha and KYB have not changed much on that suspension.

Hey man can I get your opinion? I have race tech springs going in which measure 492mm. The springs which came out, and that I have been lead to believe are stock springs, measure more like 498mm. I know I need to use spacers to make up the difference between the two to make the RT springs closer to the stock measurement, HOWEVER the manual says the free spring length should be 492mm, implying I would not need spacers. How could that be if the stock springs are 498mm? Would you run the RT springs with or without the spacers?

@DanMX2112

4 ай бұрын

I see, I would run the spacers, regardless. What you don’t want is the spring bouncing around in the tube, and 6mm is not going to change much as far as how the suspension acts. So as Race Tech stated, run the spacers and don’t look back. As for you 498 stock springs, they may be longer than the 492, but the ver time will loose free length, at which 492 is the minimum.

And yes, I have the washer that goes in the cartridge. It’s kind of counter sunk into the housing part not sure the name.
