    @@Moonfleet41 Can I ask one puzzling question? I stopped by a well known local suspension shop and asked about them replacing my fork seals and got a negative (no, can do). With explanation that they don't have the right tools for such long forks? WTF? (They are known for race suspension set up) But, just when would the issue of having to re-compress the spring and needing special tools come into play or be a concern? TIA.... Susan

    If you want an honest mechanic…. Get in there and turn them wrenches I have never out of dozens of encounters and much wasted time money and trust been short changed and lied to only to be in the position I should have taken from the beginning… wearing the blue coveralls and seeing the work through myself it’s same as any project you had to do in school first you find out what you are finding out the subject then researching that specific subject or component specific to your make and model not just videos either you read forums buy tech manuals read service bulletins from manufacturer buy specialty tools whatever you need to do to give yourself the best possible chance of success you will never do it another way after you start taking care of the work on your own it’s a great feeling

    With the help of Delboys garage, I just replaced the steering stem cups and bearings, and disassembled the front forks, replaced the seals and re-filled with 10wgt on a 98 900RR. the bearings were shot and each fork only had about 4oz each of milky white watery oil. I also went over the suspension and set everything to the halfway mark. My bike now rides and handles like my 94 900RR did back in the day...which is "Resiliently". Thanks for the vids!

    I probably wouldn’t have attempted this without your video. I’ve done other seals, but forks always scared me for some reason. But this is totally doable, and even the seal driver isn’t that expensive. There are nice aftermarket replacements for the springs, and even to add adjustable dampener on each fork. Amazing. I’m having fun wrenching on my bike.

    Excellent video. Helped me no end in stripping down the forks on my ZZR1400. My local garage were going to charge £100 if I supplied the forks loose. OK, I spent around £90 on tools, seals and oil. But I can change the oil again in 12 months time for FREE. I ordered 2 litres of oil, just in case. Of all the things you can do on a bike. Fork oil probably makes the most difference. Especially if it's 10 years old... Cheers again Del

    I have re-changed oil seals on 3 different sets of usd forks due to a local bike repair shop not using the air gap messurment.. it's all very well adding the correct amount of oil if the internals are bone dry.. the air gap messurment tells you that 1/ the damper is bled and 2/the correct amount of oil has been added. . too much oil will cause exessive pressure and blow past the seals. ..... it seems rare to find mechanics these days that know exactly what they are doing ..... I would be happy to let this guy work on my own bike .

    @howtorn09408 жыл бұрын

    Happy to see finally this video from you. especially because it is a usd-fork. Also my words...fork oil has to be changed regularly like engine oil! To be honest, there are some additional points to mension and they are pretty important. When you put apart forks who have the bushings on the innertube you have to heat up the outer tube to reduce the possibility to damage the bushings - eespecially if you are planning to reuse it. Also quiet often the lower bushings are worn out without a damage on the teflon...this could also make the fork leak, cause the innertube can move in the outer and make a gap where the oil can drain out. If you drain the forks you have to get them more time or flush it with a bit of fresh oil, cause all the metall debry sits deep down at the bottom. If you have to polish the innertube, then do this job never in the direction the fork moves...always around and only(!) at chrome tubes...never ever at DLC or TIN coated inner tubes. Be aware of the spacer between the bushing and the seal. the sharp edge must be on the side of the seal - that is incredibly important. About the tools...alot of forks have these spacertubes to push down the springs. This KYB-Fork is a special one without this little tube. And you cant definitely do all bushes with this seal driver. Just as an example: the 05-06 CBR600RR is not possible cause the plastic is too short! If you engage the thread of the cap...turn it counterclockwise till the thread comes free...then turn it in. A damaged thread at this position is a true nightmare! And if you have a fork with mounted bushings in the outer tube, you dont have to use a seal driver at all Hope this helps a bit!

    The clutch side fork seal on my 2019 Versys 650 blew just before the current two week lockdown here in Pune. And I was so @#$%&* fed up. All workshops, whether official or otherwise, are closed with very stiff fines for opening them even for cleaning up. And I was mortally scared to finger the USD fork. Delboy and Mrs Delboy, your absolutely brilliant tutorial was such an incredible relief. You cannot imagine how relaxed I became; to know that I can do this repair in my garage on my own and get the bike up was bliss. The professionally careful and sensitive way that you handled the various parts is a lesson in itself; I showed your video to my electronics engineer son just to teach him this finesse in workmanship. So methodical, systematic, calm and composed. No unnecessary attempts at superfluous humour or off-coloured remarks etc. The exemplar of what a technical video tutorial should be like.(There is another video for exactly the same job and the way the guy there has handled the parts is an insult to the art.) I haven't got the bespoke seal driver so will use some PVC pipe, insulation tape kind of mod. I'll play your video and work on the bike simultaneously so as to not make a single mistake. Thank you ever so much for this terrific video. I have posted it on the Kawasaki Versys group for the benefit of all members there. Namaste.

    Great vid. A small caution you may like to add, "wind the damper rod out before reassembly in case the locknut moves". If it screws further down and the damper rod is wound in, when the caps are tightened the damper rod will be damaged.

    This was a top notch video mate. You included not only all the relevant knowledge needed to accomplish the job to a professional level, but some really useful & innovative tips on how to create your own inexpensive tools to do it. I will definitely be looking at your channel if/when I need more how to tips on fixing my machines. Was able to install new tubes and seals, with the drivers I made, on my 2008 FXDF in a couple hours and the bike is back on the road, front suspension working like new, without a factory service manual or special tools. Keep up the great work. Thanks a million for taking the time to create this video. ~//~

You are obviously both experts in your fields but in your case there is the advantage of no OTT swearing :) Much appreciated video. Please keep up the good work.
