Very helpful video! The pace was perfect. You covered everything without talking too much. Camera angles were solid and I could see everything you were doing. One of my seals was leaking and I want to check the oil level. I will definitely check out more of your videos.

Well my 2011 R1 is quite stiff at the front so the mechanic suggested I get my shock seals changed. He explained how everything from the front needs to be replaced and that gave me a mini heart attack. After seeing how easily you took it apart, I'm now at peace knowing that its not that big of a deal. Thanks for the video, You're a real pro!

Hey how's it going brother, I thought this video was very informational for someone that has never removed the front forks before, but I was wondering if it is about the same way for a 2008 Yamaha R6. I ask because I am pretty sure that my right side fork (if sitting on the bike) is leaking and I am attempting to repair this problem myself and I am just trying to get as much info on the full process as I can, especially when it comes to the removal. I mean it seems pretty straight forward but I am not really trying to fuck up anything on my bike hahaha. Any comments, suggestions, and/or opinions are completely welcome because this is my first time doing it and I just want to do it the right way.
@sportbiketrackgear6 жыл бұрын

Why do you not mark and measure with calipers the position of the forks before disassembly so that when they are reinstalled the alignment is spot on? Fork caps are level to the triple tree and forks are not twisted. Eyeballing it is cannot be precise.

hi there, Great video. Maybe you can assist me with a slightly different problem. I have a 1980s Moto Guzzi with 40mm forms and I'm going to make it more Cafe Racer styled but one thing I'd like to do is put better forks on the front. I'd quite like to use USDs and change the whole front end. What do I need to consider. If I change the Forks I need to change the yokes and probably the bearings too but I'm not sure what other considerations I need to make to get the rake and trail set up so it works and doesn't make the steering dangerous. Can you provide any pointers that may help me decide the best option. Thanks
