I recently purchased a 99 valk and it just needed a little TLC. Brake pads, fork seals, vacuum tubes might have been loose. Just a quick once-over, includes taking off the seat, checking the airbox and a few tricks along the way. Not really meant as a how-to video, there are plenty of those online, rather it's just documenting my journey with this bike.

Getting a 1999 valkyrie soon and thanks for all of the information and tips. Like you I feel like I have to replace a lot. Great video.

Don’t get me started on the youth nowadays. They will find out what they are missing, when it will be too late. Great looking project ! Enjoy your Valkyrie !

The caliper may be hitting the rivets on the brake rotor. Loosen the pinch bolts on the clutch side and pry the fork away from the wheel about 1/8" and retighten the pinch bolts. From the video, the tire looked off center.

I never knew that was a thing. I ended up loosening the whole thing, finding notjing wrong that i could spot, took the caliper apart and one cylinder seemed like it would not retract so i cleaned it some more, greased it and put everything back. No more noise!

Great job man I'm getting ready to redo my front forks as well.

Good luck! That left hand fork was a str8t b1tch! I ended up NOT taking it all the way apart (didn't release spring), just took the tubes apart so i could replace bushings and seals!

@@heathenbiker awesome....I wish I didn't have too but I'm getting residual oil on the fork tubes.

Thanks for the video. Great job. Just got mine and the fork seals are leaking on right side. My question is if you do them one side at a time, can you do them with the bike on the ground or do you need to jack up the bike? It looks like yours was still on the ground.

@@actung4307 i bought a $80 lift from amazon. I barely lifted it. Maybe 8" and only the front was lifted, rear tire still on the ground. It didn't look like I had room to pull the fork all the way down and out with the bike on the ground. Maybe i could have but i didn't try.

@@heathenbiker you don't need to completely strip the forks to change the seals & bushes, I left the springs untouched/still in the tubes. 😎

Your seat is the best. Ultimate.

When it comes to working on a Valk it will drive you to drink.

@nevsmate8663 Год назад

if you search for you tube videos on any maintenance you intend to carry out, there's bound to one or more to show you how! saves on making mistakes, especially potential expensive ones.

Invest in i bike lift, much easier !

I know that's true. crappy habor freight ones are around $4-500, and good ones are $1500. I don't have $220 for a Sedici Helmet that I've got my eye on!! My current total budget for motorcycle stuff is $40 until next week when I hope to add another $20 to the stash!! LOL I'm not broke-broke, but I'm definitely on a budget! I was thinking of building one with a couple of scissor jacks (you know, when I can afford the scissor jacks and wood) I'll eventually get a real lift, at some point in the future.

Hello, my friend. If possible, your personal account so that I can contact you on any social networking site. I have some questions. Remember, I have a Valkyrie F6 1500 bike.
