Holy heck bat man, I think this just might be the very first fork seal change video I watched where I did not cringe multiple times at for dumb stuff or wrong stuff the or just bad mechanical practices. You sir are a miracle baby!
Minus the screw driver that just marred up your upper fork leg. I always use a piece of polycarbonate shaved down to a sharp knife and stick it into the seal and bang on it with a soft mallet and you will never marr your aluminum or miss and hit the leg.
Great video guys Can you specify which types of seal grease do you guys prefer , as I am indian and racetech grease is far-off my grasp. Please specify NLGI 1,2,3 WHICH IS SUITABLE ,and is silicone grease or lithium or regular grease will work without causing leaks
Good video but Dang, forks installed and wheel on and forgot the lights, remove the wheel and forks and put the lights on and back to square one. My dad always said "if there isn't time to do it right, there is always time to do it over, so pay attention." I always retorted I was so poor I couldn't even pay attention.
I am hoping we can laugh and cry together. My 24’ KTM 65sx had the front shocks damaged when the bike was tied down in the truck bed. I don’t know the extent of the damage but I heard two loud BOOMs coming from the bike. I pulled over and noticed the tie down straps were tighter than a camels ass in a sand storm. The shocks don’t rebound like before, no oil leaking and I am hoping for some advice on were to start. Thanks.
I recently serviced my forks as per your instructions. I noticed when I drained the old fork oil on the right fork that the oil was significantly thicker- almost like molasses. The left side fork oil was normal. Any idea why this might be?
Is it normal for the damper side fork leg to not fully extend like at 15:46? Cause I took mine off and it doesn't fully extend but when i lift the fork up from ground it extends.
It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
Great info, but safety glasses and gloves, wimp. No OSHA in the typical garage. I got my safety squints and hands that have been impervious to harm for 30+ years. Love the content, but call it as I see it.

Thanks for the great video. I have these forks on my '21 300XC TPI, and (hopefully) won't need it for a while, but it will come in handy when I do.
Thanks for the very informative video, thorough and helpful! Looking forward to servicing mine in the near future.
Great video well explained . Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Informative and easy to understand. Thank You
Thnank you for doing this video.
Sick video, guys 🤙🤙
Thanks! Hope it helped! -Charles
On another note, who makes that dual sided inner cap tool, I like it.

Back up ring - which direction does it go? It has 2 sides . Thx
Any video available for the 2015 1290 Super Adventure S?
great video thanks for sharing
Great video
Will a 2021 ktm 85 fork be similar to this?
I don’t think it is. I’ve been scouring the internet. I think the damper rod part is skipped and the inner part. I’m not 100% though
Thank you!
Can you post the link for the special socket for the damper rod?

Are you the original owner? It's possible someone only changed one side out before. The stock oil seems real syrupy. -Charles
great video,but you forgot to reinstall thr lights
Is this the fork with the new notches?
Where can I find those lights and mounts please!!?
I think I saw those lights on there website

Exact same process just with a spring on the inside
Would be nice if you made a tool list that we could reference to buy what we needed for this job.
You can click the first link in the video description to see the parts and tools we used.
