Good vid as it answered all my questions regarding setting oil height and whether or not I needed to remove the 19mm bolt at the bottom of the fork (which I already had done prior to watching this) So now I will remove spring and cap then reinstall damper rod so I can bleed it out correctly. Thanks!!

3 bushings?? Now that I have your attention, every other fork I've worked on only has 2 bushings and no long spacer like this. The video glossed over pressing in the bushings. the larger inner bushing is self explanatory, however the outer bushings that lay on either side of the spacer don't seem quite right. Do I really need just drive the first one in, drive in the space and then drive in the final spacer to flat just underneath the oil seal? The Service manual glosses over this part as well, if anyone could spell this out for me it would be much appreciated!

Thanks guys great video.. Even though, I still have a question. Recently I did a whole revision on the forks of my KTM sm990. But after everything was assembled the right way, the fork seems to have a flat/dead spot at the very top. I followed every step very carefully and I do not see where I did something wrong. It looks like there is still some air in the system after all. The only reason what I can think off is the point of releasing the spring back in, that with this motion some air got sucked in. Or can it be something else? So before I will dismount everything again, what will be your advice? I hope to hear from you. Cheers
@rmatvmc
@rmatvmc 4 жыл бұрын
Just to clarify, by flat or dead spot do you mean it feels like there is no dampening at the top of the stroke? I'm assuming it didn't have this issue before the fork rebuild? Installing the spring shouldn't create any issues with air in the system. Are you 100% sure that all the air was bled out and the damper rod had smooth consistent resistance all the way to the top? It might be worth double checking the clicker settings to make sure they are at the same settings as before. -Charles

@ip6205 4 жыл бұрын
@@rmatvmc Hi Charles, thanks for the reply! Yes exactly, when I take the bike of the side stand the bike will fall approximately 2 cm until you can feel the resistance of the spring/fork. This wasn't the case before the rebuild. I do believe the clicks are all right, since I adjusted them to stock settings. The only thing I didn't do is putting the damper rod adjuster in place before messuring the exact amount of oil. I did 10cm (so without the adjuster) but this still leaves me with a margin right? The only thing I can think of is that I made a mistake with bleeding the system since the example of the video, where you can see the "dead" spot when the damping rod is being pulled out, looks very familiar to the my bike falling down into the spring. If this makes sense.. So what is the best option to do, should I disassamble the forks, open them, take the spring out and start bleeding again? Greetings, Ilja

@rmatvmc

The lower part of the fork rotates freely so you shouldn't have to worry about that. We have a video that talks about installing the front wheel and aligning it with the forks that shows this better. You can check out that video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLKkd72juNnZYok.html

You failed to mention the to look out for the damper needle that is on the end of the compression rod. Sometimes it will stay stuck in and other times it will be loose (easy and small enough to lose in oil or under the work bench).

a factory-set oil quantity should be specified. How much do You initially poor in? ("some oil" is not specific enough). I understand it is around 600-640 milliliters (21,13 ounces mentioned somewhere else). thank You for the excellent and detailed video.

Bang Cock The wp 4860 mxma is very similar but doesn’t have the spacer tube/extra bushings. It just has 2 bushings, the one bushing that seats in the outer tube (behind the seal/ring) and the one at the top of the inner tube. Everything else in the video applies and explains things very well, I just did a set of 4860 mxma’s off my 07 KTM 200 xc-w this afternoon.

@@bloodyholly11 it’s helpful to have spring pressure on the assembly when you are removing the bottom bolt, otherwise the damper assembly will spin. Using an impact and a quality well fitting (6 point) socket will get things loosen and tighten things up more easily so they can be torqued. Remove components by hand and get ready to catch the oil! Removing the damper assembly is t here only way to get the rest of the old oil and any debris from spring and bushing wear

A metal screwdriver is the last tool that should be used on a fork. It can nick or scratch. These bushings are in such low tension that they can easily be removed with fingers only. If a tool is ever needed it should be a nylon pry tool, E.G. an automotive trim tool.

as always in mechanics, depends on your skillset and pysical and mental control over what youre doing and how you do it ... also you present this as an personal way of doing it e.g an "opinion" and nobody cares how you do it as long as you do it right and dont damage anything + if you manage to poke through those seals you should be repairing traintracks or something and not forks ....
