Good video. I like the plastic bag hack for getting the seal on without tearing it.
Thanks! I'm too cheap for bullets. It has worked for me for years.
Thanks for the video dude. Very well detailed. I’m going to save this and link this video in mine when I get to the fork rebuild.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. Any exposure would be greatly appreciated! Please send me your vid once it's up! I'd love to see it! Ride safe! Looking forward to the vid.
Great video! You give some cool tips.
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to help you! Ride safe!
thank you
Glad to be of service. Thanks for taking the time to comment that.
Thank you for this video
So nice of you. No problem. I hope it helps!
Nice. Above my abilities.
It's definitely a very inclusive job and isn't for everyone. Thank you for commenting however and I hope that some of my other videos maybe of use to you either now or in the future. I hope this was enough to earn you as a subscriber. Good luck with the project and ride safe! Cheers!
Good info here but wanted to know if fork seals not leaking do you change them ? I have a 07 Yamaha Stratoliner S that I doubt the seals have never been changed. Thoughts ?? Also yes I have watched some of Delboys's videos and he is a very informative chap. Sorry to hear about his medical issues. Prayers he recovers quickly. Thanks from Marion, Ohio
Thanks! Delboy is all healed up now. I appreciate your support. If your fork seals aren't leaking, there is no need to change them out unless you believe that they maybe going out soon.
However; some bikes the oil has already leaked out a long time ago and due to washings and age, there is no trace of leaking oil. I would check around your forks to see if there is any residue at all. If it's all clear, then you should be fine.
It would be advisable to at least change your fork oil as that is supposed to be swapped out as a regular maintenance item. That will help remove bushing material and ensure you have less friction.
I hope this helps and I hope this was enough to earn you as a subscriber! Ride safe! Cheers!
hi i have bent forks on the same bike. can i email you photos and you give me a recommendation on what parts i need. i can give you some compensation for your time/ advice
Can you tell me. Do you have the fork fully extended when adding/measuring the new oil level. Cheers
All forks that I'm aware of are always fully collapsed when measuring the air gap/ oil level. This particular bike's service manual indicated that the forks were to be completely compressed to check oil level. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching and I really hope this was enough to earn you as a subscriber! Ride safe! Cheers!
Hi, I liked your video very much, very very helpful! I have to do the seals and bushing on my 2000 V Star 650. Are the fork tubes roughly the same? Thank you for your time.
Thanks! I can't say they are the same for certain but they seem to definitely look similar. If you order any parts however; be sure to have measured your chrome pipe diameter just to make sure the seals and such will fit. Good luck with your project! Ride safe! Cheers!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss HI, all my parts came in at last, to redo the seals in my front forks. I had the laptop out in the shop, watching this video step by step. It was going freaking great until it came to tightening the damper bolt. I could not slide the inner fork tube out. I could not even get it to budge. I am sure I did something wrong. Would you have any ideas? Thank you very much in advance for help you might give. Andy
@@andyc2333 glad to hear all of your parts came in. Please take the time to rewatch the video to ensure you followed every step in its proper order. Could you please tell me at exactly which point in the video you are having issues with? Use a timestamp if possible. Thanks!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss Trust me, The past couple of weeks, I have watched your video at least 10 times. I will keep watching until I get it right LOL Also been reading the service manual. At 11:05 in your video. You slide out the inner fork tube. To tighten the damper bolt at the bottom of the leg. I can not get the inner fork tube to move. Sorry to be a bother.
@@andyc2333 i see. This has happened to me in the past. If I remember right, there is a small plastic piece that fits between the inner and outer tube. It fits on the bottom of the silver tube but you must remove the silver tobe in order to get to it. Sometimes it has a tendency to get flipped around sometimes and jams up. When I ran into this, I had to pull pretty hard on the chrome inner tube to get them separated. I don't want you to damage anything but that's what I had to do. Keep me in the loop. Lmk.
Con esa paciencia que trabaja es pura pérdida 😂😂
8:40 I can’t get mine flush I have a driver but still don’t go down about 1 centimeter
As long as you can put the washer & clip on top, you should be fine, if not, be sure to grease the seal and apply heat to the fork to help it expand
Do you know how similar, or dis-similar, this install would be for a 2008 Yamaha Raider? The forks look very similar except for length.
I believe that they would be the same but I do not know. If you get ahold of the factory service manual, (as everyone should have) then you could see step by step what needs to be done as well as anything else that is needed. I hope this helps! Good luck!
@@TheMotorcycleBoss Yes, I have the manual. Need to look into it. This was a great video though. I see some guys that must be taking the pressure off the fork before they undo the bolt in the bottom and they use a broomstick to put pressure on it from the inside. I will try your method first.
@@johncrowder7650 good to hear! I usually try to just use the spring pressure to accomplish that task. Having an impact gun makes short work as well. I hope your project goes well! Good luck! Keep me posted.
Is there an obd port for xvs 1300?
No
Know why my fork is stuck and won't compress or decompress?
Hydraulic lock? Too much oil in your fork? If I were you, I would disassemble then reassemble.
Try looking at the bottom of the chrome pipe. There should be a small insert that if not properly installed has the potential to cause this issue.
Could be your forks are bent.
The screw underneath is frozen … now what to do
It’s just spinning and now there is oil leak
You need to use an impact gun to shock it, or temporarily reassemble the fork to put the damper assembly under spring pressure. That will help the damper from spinning and should allow you to remove the bolt
Excellent video we'll save it. I learned a few things I will use in my next video.👍⛷
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful to you
Who started laughing art 527?
Am I the only one that noticed the amount of DUST on the tank? Doesn't seem like that bike is ridden lately... Just sayin'
I ride it very often actually. I live in Las Vegas. We get dust storms and high winds very often. It's impossible to keep anything dust free for long.
Cool. It just looked like it had been sitting for a while. BTW, I really enjoyed your video
Much appreciated. I hope it was helpful to you in some way. @@anthonywheeler133
