TFX Front Fork Springs Upgrade and Rebuild, BMW F650GS Dakar. Part 2

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Part 2 - The Front Forks - This video is of my installation upgrade of the TFX progressive front fork spring and subsequent rebuilding. New oil, new dust and oil seals and a few tricky bits along the way.

This set up has actually been on my bike for over a year now and 7000+ km's and I can highly recommend them.

    I notice you got oil temperature gauge in your oil tank, is it possible that they are made to show oil temperature but also can you check oil level with them ?

    Yes you can check the oil level with it too in the same way the OEM one does, you just have to scratch on the max and min lines by copying them across.

    Dude hammering those seals or washers is not a good idea - so much could go wrong here. Also not using some sort of protection on the top of the tube destroys those seals/bushings with its sharp edge (use condom for example). Instead of hammering use an electrical tape rounded on the tube (like 5mm thick) and hammer those seals with the tube (there is some guide on the internet how to do it).

    Ive had no problems so far, but it may be wise for others to take Martin's advise. Thank you Martin.

    You need to set the SAG (probably need to adjust rear shock to get it correct) before you test ride, otherwise the whole exercise is meaningless🕊
