If you have a way to get the front end up off the ground, its a pretty simple procedure. If you've a got a few hours to spend on it, I say do it.
Check out this thread: https://cbrforum.com/m_127528/tm.htm

Did you buy new forks because your current seals were leaking, or just new seals? Or was it something worse?

 

You need a swingarm stand and a steering stem stand ... after that just straightforward removal and replacement. Make sure to measure height above triple tree before removing old forks. A shop manual with torque values would be a nice thing to have also. The stands and manual pay for themselves after 1 job plus you get up close and personal with your baby (the bike ... not your boy toy).

 

sweet guys thanks..i wasnt thinkin it was really anything TOO difficult..and im not afraid of gettin dirty...

do you know where i can find one of those manuals and such?

yeah there was a leak in the right fork...which was the main reason for wanting to get new ones....

 

download a manual from www.stephygee.com or others who have it on their site.
just click skip intro if you don't like all that flash stuff.

 

hey thanks man...i downloaded that looks like it will be the perfect help for the project thanks

 

Its really easy.. I just used ratchet straps and hung my bike by a tree in my yard (yes very redneck way but it worked great)..Its very self explanitory you should have no problem it took me about 2 hours total to pull my frontend off replace the bearings on the steering stem and put it all back together and that was my first time ever pulling off a frontend..

 

awesome..so there is hope for me afterall ahaha...i think im gonna try it this weekend...hopefully all goes well ..i better start pumpin some iron and get my muscles ready ahahah....
