So I changed my fork seals recently because they were leaking and I decided to record my adventure in the hopes that I might help someone else. Well I think the video is pretty helpful so I'm posting it. The only thing I didn't include is some detail about the fork oil. I'm just going to copy the description of the video below and you guys can watch for the rest.

This is part one of a video tutorial on how to change your fork seals. These forks are from my 2001 Honda CBR600F4i.

**NOTE** Not shown in the video is the filling of the forks with oil. You will need Honda SS3 Suspension Fluid or an equivalent 10W fork oil from another brand. You need to have the SAME EXACT LEVEL in both forks. Also, you need to bleed the dampening rods...you do this by pouring a quarter or so of the fork oil necessary, then pumping the rod several times until it has a lot of resistance...then you pour in the rest.

I also posted a thread in the How To: section but until that gets approved this will reside here. Mods feel free to merge the threads...or hell, keep them separate...I feel liked we'd get more attention here anyway.

just wacking it huh????? lol good stuff man... ALOT of people will appreciate this...

 

This is going to be very helpful. Great tutorial! Good for a laugh at the end of the first vid too. "Clean the f*** out of it" haha

 

Nice job

 

Suppose I'll bump it once.

 

thanks a whole bunch im deciding wether to get my forks done by a shop or do it myself not to mention i have no expirence on how to do anything

 

Good job taking the time and care to record it.

 

Nice post...look just like when I did my old cbr f3 forks.

 

Drops something......"we dont need that" lol.

 

If anyone has any requests for common maintenance and would like to see how it's done just let me know and I'll do my best to make a video of it.

**EDIT** Whoops, this was supposed to be a reply to other one in the How To section. Sorry mods.
