Couple of comments. Lower end thread cap screw. It works better if you start the cap off with the forks still assembled. Only a couple threads. If it hangs up later on... put the fork spring in, push down on it so it bottoms in the tube, and the threaded portion will come off. Snap ring holding the fork oil seal in. One end is notched and will come off. Other end isn't notched and won't come off !

Great video thanks. My preload adjusters didn't unwind the cap just came off in one but it hasn't effected anything. I also got away without any special tools (insulation tape to drive the fork seals and protect the seals over the bushing recess and drilled an old spanner with 4mm holes and used the drill bits to unwind the top cap) I used 600ml of oil in each fork leg (2010 ktm exc) and forks feels brilliant now 👌

Hi, I'm a Portuguese fan of your channel. Lots of practical technical information, and very well explained. I have a KTM exc 450 from 2005, and I did this oil and seal change operation, without disassembling the fork base, just removed the spring, emptied the oil, cleaned it and filled it with new oil and seals. At the end of one of the forks, the clicker always rotates without stopping. I am going to address this problem but in the meantime I would like some opinion of yours about what I have done wrong, and possible damage that I have to pay attention to. BTW, is there any video of changing the glass oil level check thing on these bikes? I have a smal leak there... Thank you in advance, for your attention. Come to Portugal for an adventure ride, i will show you guys the best trails.

@@AdhD311 I was going to comment on the "fork seal grease" while I appreciate the video very much anyone doing this should know that grease for rubber/orings will work as it wont have any strong properties to harm the rubber parts. Trying to sell grease is more money for RM and I understand but I would think everyone is going to buy the seals, oil, etc anyway and probably a few of the tools and a few are not absolutely needed. That being said they want to make money but buying "fork seal grease" is a bit much of a push when many people will take it at that exact word, and you could of easily changed your wording. Again make the money but "Come on Man" easy with it.

just a heads up for everyone with these specific forks dont use an impact on the bottom compression assembly or atleast be very careful i used just a regular makita battery impact driver to zip mine on and i must have went overboard the first one went on fine, so i thought..... then the second one completely sheared off the aluminum collar on the assembly causing it to push right through into the fork totally ruined have to buy 2 new ones now, the first one didnt shear off but cracked around the entire edge and is barely hanging in there terrible design to make it out of aluminum they are not cheap either so when my new ones come i dont think im going to use an imact at all dont want to risk it
