- Welcome Back! This is a shorter type of video i made so i can video some of these smaller things quickly. Let me know what you all thing!
In this new series I will be starting to rebuild my 2004 Yamaha R1 that came to me as a basket case. The goal for this series is to attempt to rebuild it as originally as possible for a little as possible. Some shortcuts will be made.
In this video i rebuild a front fork

De rien!
Good video I'm rebuilding a 2001 R1 and may need to do this some time soon. I will be referencing this video for sure
Thanks!
You have to wait circa 20 minutes before measure oil level. Because the oil is aerated after venting, the level will drop
Tomasz yes, you are right. I should have mentioned that. It did sit after i filled it before i did final measurements. i just cut it out of the video.
Hi. i'm new subscriber, i love your videos,, you have great content.. keep uploading!!!
Thanks!
Hey man great vid. I had a guy install new springs on my forks but the dials for compression and rebound have way to many clicks now and spin with no clicks at the end (all the way closed). Is there an easy way to fix this because he won’t help me? Really appreciate any advice thanks!
Great job mate, really well explained!
Much appreciated!
I don't know if I missed something, but why not drive the fork seal into the outer then slide it onto the stanchion
I do small forks that way, but it would be really hard to use the seal driver that way, also there is a higher risk of tearing a seal putting it in like that. You probably could though if you were careful.
Hi do you have a video of just replacing the preload fork cap bolts with forks attached to bike???
No I don't, I'm not sure I would really try that personally. You would need to support the bike to keep the weight off. Loose then caps then slowly lower it until they are exposed. Like in this video.
Did you paint the bottom shocks ?
Yes, it was intended to match the 06 LE
How I know the seal is properly seated? Should it stay on place without that clip too when the seal is seated? Or can you even put that clip on place if the seal isn't seated properly?
If you can get the clip in its seated fine
@@DeWoodysShop okay thanks👍🏼
If I'm not competly blind you put the seal on in the wrong direction
The bevels on these go towards the bottom, also you can tell because the deeper recessed side of the seal goes up, or towards the oil. These have springs and seals on both sides.
@@DeWoodysShop , ok, it lookt like wrong way to me
