DVO Diamond D1 Fork Seal Service | Winter Maintenance Series

This is a pretty detailed video on how to service and replace the seals on a DVO Diamond D1 Fork. As always, my goal is to show you, that you can do your own maintenance if you want. This is the first time I've removed or serviced any suspension fork- I f I can, so can you!

    I am so grateful to have had this video as my guide. I completed my service this evening without a hitch thanks to your recommendations and following along to the video. I’m very proud and glad to have the experience of servicing it myself. Thanks again!!

    Thanks for this! I just want to highlight one thing that no one has mentioned, not even the service manual. When reinstalling the HSC/LSC knob, make sure that the settings are aligned correctly. Set the LSC setting to #6 and turn the center knob closed all the way counterclockwise.

    I should have mentioned that. I ran into this issue exactly.

    Thanks for taking the time and sharing this video! I like the tip with the markings on the uppers to match the correct direction when inserting the lowers. Im going to be doing the 50 hour oil and seal replacement on my Diamond D1 soon

    This is excellent, thanks! DVO doesn't have a service manual for my Diamond E3 yet. Would you know how close what you're doing on your D1 is to my E3? I do have an email from them telling me how much oil to use on each side.

    I am sorry, I am not familiar with the E3 - I am not a bike mechanic and use these videos to figure out what I am doing. Hopefully encouraging others to try.

    I totally agree. I have the parts to service the air piston, but I need a couple of additional tools for the job.

    Can I use the same oil I use for the fork to soak the foam ring?

    Absolutely, that is exactly what I did.
