Trick factory Suzuki Mechanic taught me: When reinstalling forks ( with threaded axle ) Install non threaded fork first and set where desired. Tighten but not torqued. Then take other leg and install into clamps. Don't tighten but snug where fork leg can still be moved and twisted but is not falling out of clamps under its own weight. Rubber mallet can be used to smack bottom of fork leg or top to move up and down for micro adjustment. Be more careful on top to impact the edges and not the adjuster screw. Now take axle. (NO WHEEL) just axle, and install into fork legs. Threaded part should seat without any binding. Move threaded leg up or down as desired so threads do not bind at all. If correct, axle should be able to be spun back and forth into threaded leg with just finger and thumb with no binding. Super smooth rotation is your goal. Once achieved your legs are even. Torque clamps and check legs/axle again. If results are the same, forks are set. Another tip while doing this.. Take rubber mallet and smack triple clamps all around where they clamp forks when forks are set into them before Torque. This vibrates legs to seat in clamps with best calibration. Check axle one more time before installing the wheel. Recommend taking the time to remove front fairings when doing this job. It's more of a pain but access to bolts and using the mallett are so much easier. :)

Super clear and well produced video. I’ll be changing my seals and oil on my 2005 sv650 with 06 gsxr600 forks and this is exactly the info I need to do the job, thanks!

Thanks, Miles!! Finally a solid no nonsense video on inverted fork seal replacement that’s direct and easy to follow.

Great video. I just replaced the seals and oil on the Sachs forks on my Aprilia Tuono, which is a bit different than your GSXR setup but with enough overlap to make sense. Thanks.

Got mine done with guidance from this video. Super helpful, thank you!

Great vid, you sir are a natural born instructor.

I have an SV with the GSXR fork like that; this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! On a side note, your voice is extremely calming in this video (in a good way)!

thank you for the detailed explanation great video just one question would you say gsxr 750 2004 would have the same procedures to change its fork seals

Excellent instructions! Thanks!

Great video jus helped change my seal

Great explanation. Super helpful. Thanks

Super helpful, thanks!

What a hell of a video. Thank you so much!

Fantastic video!! 🎉

Is it possible for forks to leak from the bottom, I mean the chrome tube that meets the mounting bracket for the caliper and axle? I had no fluid in my forks. Great video - thanks!

Grear video on textbook approach to fork servicing. Many at home mechsnics may have to do without some of the tools.

best ive seen yet. Did you leave te dampener bolt in for this and leave dampener in place? does make sense

It was quite a few videos on this and I like your method video the best +1subscriber

Is this the same for a 2008 cbr fireblade? Thanks

Thank you sir

Thanks for the video....I however nearly cried when I saw the impact gun when tightening the caps back up. The fork caps call for 25 ft. lbs. My best friend is a car mechanic and calls me names when I start torque charting things....then when they come back apart easily the next time it all makes sense.

Also ppl you do not need that axel tool just keep your pinch bolts tight then loosen the nut side take it off then loosen the pinch bolts and tap the axel out which comes out pretty easy.

Will a hairline scratch on the lower fork (barely felt using fingernail) cause a fluid leak?

Hi. What is the oil capacity for the fork? (In ml)

You can do this without the compression tool?

where can we find this extractor?

how much ML needs for each fork

For those that don’t know the spring he took out and said pay attention to it that there is a top and bottom.. actually it’s tapered and you can visually see it.

I'm having an issue where no pressure is built after changing the oil. I only have pressure when the rod is all the way down. Any suggestions?

Great video man thank you! Hopefully this will be similar to my 04 r1 forks, I watched a video saying that I could just remove the bottom allen and not have to use a compressor tool but it just turns the internals of the fork, so I think im going to just order the tool through your link, but my question is how do I assure that I get that allen bolt back tight again? Thanks In advanced!

Would this be the same process for a 2005 Suzuki Gsx-r 600?

I have a question I keep getting mixed answers on, I live in Houston and my cousin offered to sell his 14 Gsxr 600 for a 1000 that was in the flood we haven’t tried to start the bike yet I don’t even think he has drained the bike yet if there’s any flood water to begin with his bike was in the garage in his apartments I’m going to take a look at it this week just wanted to ask a Moto mechanic if it was damaged by the water can I be fixed?

9:50 When I bleed the cartridge, my fork oil only comes out when I pull the inner rod out and NOT when pushing it back in. What's going on? The problem does not occur on my other fork cartridge.

not clear about "thicker side wall up & thinner down" when its the time of puttining the oil seal or if its in the direction fitted to motorcycle

I only have a 1000 to spend on repair at the moment.

When I pump the damper rod up and down no oil comes up through it. 675r forks

How much does a a job like this cost to do?

Why 107mm?? 112mm is written in the manuel...

I made it simple

Loosen the top nut and damper bolt whilst they are still on the bike and DONT use a gun for the top nut 😂

Woww I see so much wrong with how u did them seals ....they will leak for sure........
