Great video and good to see sliders and tubes don't need removal from triple and disassembly. BTW, how did you re-locate the stock gauge to the new location above the top triple?

Great video this will really help if I do this to my sv. Did the spacer come with the springs? Looking at product pages I dont see them listing anything about coming with the springs. Thanks again for a great video.

Great vid! First time I've seen it done with the forks still in the triple... every other source says to remove and do it on the bench. I suppose u can leave em in there if you're not replacing the seals. What did u do about pumping the new oil through to get all the bubbles out; and setting the oil level / air gap when forks are at an angle?

@5boltautomotive595 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I just know they take half a litre of oil. I poured half the oil in, then cycled the fork to get the air out, then put the rest of the half litre in and cycled again.

@@5boltautomotive595 the recommended oil level will be for stock forks…if you have installed heavier springs youll want less oil in there. Usually a 120-130mm airgap measured springs out forks compressed otherwise they’ll be too stiff

Hi mate how much do you weigh roughly and what were the results after this? I have an 04 and am looking at doing the same

Hey! I'm 175lbs. It feels ok. It will bump you up off the seat on a hard bump, but overall it feels very planted

@julieoliver8170 Жыл бұрын

What size spring did you use? In 185lbs. I need a 90 kg but found a cheaper one on eBay 80kg. Maybe heavy oil. Can you adjust those?

@5boltautomotive595 Жыл бұрын

I cant remember what size, they have a chart on their website. only preload is adjustable

@chadridsdale9970 Ай бұрын

The heavy oil will not make up for a lighter spring. The difference in price of springs won't be worth it. I would get the right springs

Did 3 holes work?

@5boltautomotive595 Жыл бұрын

It seemed to work just fine, because I went lighter on the oil. Try it out. It's easy to add another hole and go heavier on oil than take away the hole once its there. 😎

Great I just wanted to know. I'm deciding if I want to swap a GSXR front of go this way.
