One tip to add is to not let the fork stanchion (lowers) to drop too much once filled with oil. There are two holes in the stanchions and if those extend below the oil seal you'll have oil pour out the bottom and make a big mess - ask me how I know :D
Thanks for the video and great detailed explanation. I found it amusing that you specified the oil level in inches, when the bike is metric and all the specs in the manual are metric as well... 122mm! I guess SAE will take a long time to die still in America haha ;)
thanks very helpful i was trying to yank the tube from the stanchion without removing the stopper ring behind the dust seal found the workshop manual is not very clear about that
How the heck did you get the retaining clip out after taking the fork cap off? I've got a ratchet strap to depress the spring a little bit but I've gone through several picks and micro flat head tips trying to get it out already.
Would have been more helpful if you recorded the whole thing. You cut the parts out where you remove the seal and the part where you drive the new one in. Kinda relevant…..
Thanks for the comment. I’ll have to go back and look at the original video clips and see if I have more details I can add back in. I try to keep my videos on the short side and only show the needed info but I guess I got a little over aggressive with this video and trying to keep it short. Thanks for watching.

They have been saying since I was a kid that we are converting to the metric system but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. Thanks for watching.

Sorry you didn't find the video helpful.

Thanks for that, very helpful 👍
Glad the video helped.
the workshop manual says theres a spring collar under the long spring didnt see it in mine and also yours didnt see it
What size of the oil seal?
How much oil did you used bro?
You skipped over all of the parts that people are interested in seeing-removing the spring, separating the fork from the stanchion, etc.

Thx for info. Flat earth crew
Ugh thanks? But ya kinda cut out all the pats that are not very self explanatory . Thanks tho! Little more detail next time would be awesome

You miss putting them all back together lol,
Sorry, I was trying to keep it short and sweet. Guess I went a little bit too short.
Thanks for watching.
Useless. You don't actually show anything worthwhile.
Pointless vid.......missed the crux.......
