Attractive Quality koyo oil seals
Choosing Good Quality.Unscrew the large cap, dump the oil. screw the
cap back on.Loosen up the rebound adjuster nut. Holding the fork somehow
(how is up to you) push the fork together and the damper rod will poke
out the bottom. Snag that sucker with a 12-14mm wrench. At this point,
take the rebound adjuster nut gismo off the damper rod. Its just screwed
on the end and jammed there with the jam nut that has two flats ground
on it (17mm). Once the rebound adjuster is removed, squeeze the fork
again, take the wrench off the damper rod and re-unscrew the big cap and
pull the entire damper out of the fork. Pick the spring up off the
floor and wipe up the oil you just spilled too…knuckle head…Attractive Quality koyo oil seals Choosing Good Quality
Now, to replace the seals. Use a small screw driver or a paint scraper or something really thin to pry up the dust cover on the seal. Dig the retaining clip out with a small screw driver and a pair of needle nose pliers. Once you get the clip out, you simply slide hammer the fork apart. Bang bang bang..its a part…wipe up the oil you just spilled…man your making a huge mess…pay attention to what your doing ok.Attractive Quality koyo oil seals Choosing Good Quality.
A smart guy would change the oil in the damper too. Its easy enough. Just unscrew the center of the top of the damper (entire compression clicker assembly #15 ) and then to remove that entire assembly, Slowly compress the damper rod into the damper. Compressing the damper rod will reduce the vacuum that is pulled when your trying to pull the “compression bolt” out. Once its out, just dump the oil…stroke the rod…to aid remove of fluid…get your mind out of the gutter…
Reassembly is reverse everything, assuming you understand how to install the new seals. Use a baggie or something like a baggie over the end of the fork tube when you slide the new seals on to prevent damaging the tiny edge that does all the sealing work…sux when you gotta do it again because you didn’t practice safe seal…
Stock oil height in the outside chamber is 412cc (05 and earlier). Put 200 in the inner chamber. Some will burp out of the inner chamber. Make sure you pour that off/out the holes in the inner damper.
If you do both chambers in both forks you’ll need roughly a quart and a half of fork oil (I use Synthetic ATF)Attractive Quality koyo oil seals Choosing Good Quality.
