You're so quick and to the point, no fluff...love it!!

Totally awesome content here!!! Don't you dare stop!!!

Found your channel because your comment on a action cam review, what a gem find, keep up the good work sir

Fantastic video, factual, to the point and all the information I need to do it myself I need to change the oil in my Showa 43mm forks (Triumph Speed Triple 2010) after the suspension 'specialists' cahnged the springs and piston sets but put in 5W oil instead of 10w and to the wrong level so the rebound and compression adjusters don't work, and I am riding on the springs only! Now I have watched your video I have the confidence to do this myself, it will save me a 150 mile round trip and another day off work to get the specialists to sort out their problem. Many thanks RT

I was dreading doing mine, mainly because I just just refreshed the front calliper/rotor, but also because I’ve never done it before. Wasn’t until I was pumping the front end while testing/seating the pads I noticed how soft they are…but you made it look easy enough to tackle. Thanks 🙏 *the front brake was near frozen when the neighbour & I pushed it into my place.

Thanks man. About to work on my first bike ever and with my limited knowledge of cars I can tell this front end needs some attention. Ima start here.

This was the most straight forward video I can find on how to change fork oil. Thank you. Gawd dam! lol

I've only recently found your videos, just wanted to say keep it up. I absolutely enjoy watching the HOW TO's like this one! Loving them

I have a '99 748 and this video is just what I was looking for!

What a terrific video. Clear and precise. Many thanks - I'll go and change the oil on my BMW XCo now I've seen this.

Nice a video on fork oil replacement only. I dont think mine need all the bushings and seals, but I want to change the oil.

great straight to the point video but I wouldn't torque the fork pinch bolts until you have the front tire fully seated on the axle. You're essentially saving any headache if you dont have the fork aligned. Good vid though!

Thank you! This is exactly what an instructional video should be like, amazing job! I wish I could make videos this good.

Thank you for this well-produced and easy to understand video! Appreciate your time. You're a very good teacher.

Man you know how much i love these lol...bloody awesome work. I have never attempted the forks but you make it look easy. Great stuff! Big thumbs up!

Thank you! About to do my bouncy Triumph 800 xc and this video is about perfect to sum up what I have to do!

Great video - just wanted to know how to change oil without replacing seals and here it is. Hope is exactly the same way for Sachs forks (Multistrada 1200s -skyhook). As for pumping out the oil I am not sure if I need to turn the cap anticlockwise first on mine.

Front Forks need lovin' too!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Iam going to do this to my 03 zx6r. I did not want to rebuild the entire fork like other videos show you... Thank you!!!

Excellent video, thanks for sharing, this video help me a lot with my 848 2009!! Keep up the good work!!

great video! thank you for making

I enjoyed the video. You make this look like a very doable project. Does measuring the removed oil take away the need to measure the height of the fork oil?

Thanks for these videos. I love the detail and tricks!

That oil was fine.. No need to change oil on a regular basis. If so drain plugs would be in the design. Auto and truck shocks are generally lifetime. Todays oil chemistry is so much more tolerant and better quality with additives that can live and perform much longer than oils of yesteryear. Some newer synthetic engine oils for example can withstand 12000 miles under rigorist conditions. Its a matter of choice I suppose and how you use your bike ie dirt biking , etc and how much labor is involved.. To each is own .

Excelente Video para cambiar el aceite de la suspensión, voy a tratar de hacerlo con mi scooter =), Thank you!

Looks easy enough, cheers mate, appreciate the video :)

Quick question regarding rocking the front of the bike after the brake calipers bolts are torqued. The manual for my monster 1200S states: Front brake calliper retaining screw (RH+LH) M10x1.25 45NM +/- 5% GREASE B Front brake calliper pre-tightening for settling (RH+LH) M10x1.25 2NM GREASE B It was my understanding this meant to do an initial torque to 2NM, then pump the brakes and hold the lever in while doing the final torque of 45NM. Is that basically accomplishing the centering process? Is rocking the front while the lever is held in going to move the calipers at all after the bolts are torqued? Thanks again for posting these videos and replying to the comments. The logic and process to maintaining these machines is almost as rewarding as riding them! If you get a chance it would be great to see your process for timing belt / valve adjustments!

brilliant work

Wow. You have mad wrenching skills !!!

Thank you for a very understandable instruction!

The manual for my 2009 Versys states a full fork disassemble to replace the fork oil. It appears that you are doing a fork oil change without disassembling the forks, correct?

Found you through 650ib! What an amazing channel you have, and it fits me perfect as i have a 848 Evo trackbike that i will be doing my first season on this year. Up untill now i have some videos of some track sessions on a 695 Monster! Definitely changing my fork oil asap, but what is the benefit of going from a 7.5wt to a 5wt? I'm probably on the heavier side of the small italians that ducati setup stock bikes for.... Keep up the good work!

great video thanks for the tutorial! going to do mine here very soon!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!

Nice video

Awesome video, thanks man!

Thank you so much for saving me so much money. I love your video i learn and save alot from you.

really you need the top cap off and rebound rod out to do this properly as you need to set the air gaps identical in each fork. doing it your way whilst I get is fast and a quick refresh only.. kinda assumes an exact amount of oil was in there to start with and that both legs have the same amount in both pre and after?

Awesome video !! any plans for a shock DIY service??

Perfectionism

Why do we need to pump the forks 5 to 10x? Can we just install it to the bike and then hold the brakes to pump both at the same time?

Very good. Thanks for the video. At. Odair

I don’t understand, why my manual wants me to take part of the spring with a special compressor tool, in order to replace oil, when you can just pour it out…( BMW r nine t)?

great video!!

They should put drain plugs at bottom of forks , should not have to pull bike half to bits

Thnq so much 🙏

good video .thanx man

Just what I was looking for! I've got an 01' ZX-12R that has fork oil from 03' when I had Race Tech Springs and gold valves installed. I think it's time to change it! ;-)

Really well done! Thak you sir.

only thing you did wrong was holding the brake while lining the forks. Your not lining the brake calipers push down on the Triple Tree to align the forks on the axle then you tighten them down that's the point of pulling down on the front end like that

Thanks, well done!

bro you forgot to check for cracks on dust seals and oil leaks around seals before you refill it ? or to check for drain plugs some bikes have at end of shocks.!

Can you add oil without taking the forks OFF?

After the initial drain would you not introduce air into the cartridge by pumping the fork to obtain the fluid inside of the cartridge?

Thanks for the tutorial. I just ride on the street. I have a 2012 ninja 1000 16000 miles. I know it’s over due . Do you think I will notice any difference on the street?

Nice vid. I always though you were meant to take the whole thing apart to clean all the old oil from all the components as well though?

excelente video saludos

Great video, question, I have an 04 r1, Im sure the oil has never been changed (35k). I also have a light clunk in the front over small bumps or when first applying the brakes. Its not the headset bearing, I checked the torque. Can it be cause the oil is old or something else in the forks? Thanks

Great video man. I have the same bike. I wanted to ask if you thought about getting 30mm off-set triples and/or the flat-rear link? Furthermore, it pears you've upgraded the rear-shock, did you upgrade the fork internals as well? Thanks in advance. Oh, liked and sub'd!

is it the same prosess for a dirt bike that needs compressed air too?

why you need to turn the fork counter clockwise until it click? does any fork have to do this? what if you font turn counter will affect anything? my bike is cbr 600rr 2005.

After you pump the fork to remove air, to you open the top cap as well to let the air out ?

Is it necessary to change fork oil seal every time during fork oil change?

Is there any risk to the fork seals in doing this process? Or after the process is finished?

How do you make sure it is aligned properly?

i have a 2008 848, what is that tool to get the seal inside the fork? I need to get it to replace my seal

Nice shoes!

When you say leave it to the side so air can ..... is that with top off or on. ????

Is the method for getting the calipers centered on the rotor generally the same bike to bike? I know of reading something similar on the forums about needing to do what you're doing to get the forks in the "neutral" position while holding the brake and compressing the forks. But I've also read that you don't want to hold you brakes while doing so and somewhere else I read that you want to hand tighten the caliper bolts then compress the suspension and then torque down the caliper bolts. Seems to be a whole mess of peoples opinions when it comes to anything relating to putting the front wheel back on the "right" way and getting the right sequence of pinch bolts tightened.

do you have the video where you move the rear caliper pin on the swingarm? thank you

Soo. My monster 600 should have 380ml of oil. I get 350ml, so that should just about be 10% left in the fork? I hope, i filled 350ml back in.

good but I don't know why someone should change their fork oil and not the seals. I would do them both at the same time.

The fork must disassemble it and clean all its components! to do a good job. So all the aluminum dies remain in the fork

Will this technique work on a Ducati Monster 796?

is it the same for my 696 08? it has a showa 43 too

How do i know when to change fork oil

Song at 0:17?

You didn't measure the air gap or show us

👍🇦🇺

What's the actual point...

why u no teach rear forks sifu uhuhuhu
