Thank you again!

Thank you! I’ll have more with this bike on this channel…riding and wrenching videos.

Excellent! If you have any questions feel free to ask and let me know how it goes!

@@Garage2Trail thanks a lot.... in this moment draining the old oil :)

I'm really liking your suggestions, so thank you for that! Good idea for more content for sure. It was a tedious process to get the oil out...every time I thought I had it mostly out, i'd let it sit, pump it up and more would come out lol. I had a plastic wedge that I used to use for my other bikes on the triple tree, but I couldnt find it while I was shooting so i just bit the bullet and wrestled it off lol. the hardwood wedge sounds like a better solution. Thats a harbor freight high lift. works great. the only thing i had to do was add the block of wood in between the two "fork" arms because its designed more for big street bikes i think and a dirt bike isnt long enough to sit flush in the middle. with that block, i can use it for my little xl125 too!

Thank you! Glad it was able to help. I’m assuming you saw Part 1 as well showing the rear linkage?

@@Garage2Trail I did, and enjoyed both parts. Very well done.

I just finished my fork rebuild and valve tuning... At the 22 minute mark, I seat the fork cap until it just bottoms out , I push the spring down and bring up the locking nut to the bottom of the fork cap.

@@CraigersFish thank you again!

@@CraigersFish sounds good! Always good to get input on other ways to accomplish this. How does it feel with a revalve?

Thank you and welcome to the channel! I lube it before every ride with clear maxima chain lube and clean it after muddy rides. Maxima also makes a very good chain cleanup degreaser that basically lets the build up of lube fall right off when washing the bike after a ride. After cleaning, I'll take a dirty old rag and run it along the chain and then apply new lube so its ready to go for the next ride.

How do you drain the oil without taking the fork off and turning it upside down and the springs sliding out? There isn’t a drain bolt on these forks as far as I understand.

@@Garage2Trail You still have to take the forks off and turn them upside down, but you only have to open the caps you don't have to take them off the dampening rod, then the springs, washers collars etc all stay in place. I usually change the oil this way every second or third engine oil change, then during the off season i change it the way you showed and make sure the level is correct.

@@losttheplotcolin gotcha..I still like to be thorough and pump the dampening rod to get out as much as possible but I guess if you are changing it that often it wouldn’t matter! Thanks for the tip!

I usually try to do it every other riding season but it all depends on how often and what kind of riding you do. I only ride during summer months here and I’m out a couple times a week at least.

It’s a cheap Harbor Freight motorcycle lift designed for street bikes but I cut some wood to accommodate dirt bikes.
