DNM usd8 Front Fork Service Sur-ron Segway to improve suspension and reliability, reduce stiction 

I'm glad you found it useful. It take time and lots of paper towel to clean my hands and turn on and off the camera but when people appreciate it it's all worth it

Yes this video is extremely detailed and easy to follow. Thanks so much !!

@@vegasromaniac Multumim mult de tot, chiar este de apreciat toata munca si efortul depus!

Happy to be of help

Very true , but few will ever go as deep as I did .. unfortunately this video will be enjoyed by few

@@vegasromaniac i don't know but your channel has some problems getting recommended by the stupidtube algorithm system. This website is just a shell of what it used to be

@@vegasromaniac so true, but those few that appreciate it really really appreciate it.. I know I do.. Love learning new things. I refuse to pay ppl do things for me. I'd rather do it my self. That way I know it's done correctly.

Thanks for watching

very easy man , very easy

I was thing the same thing

Great to hear!

no they are all different , the dnm are not too bad but require a lot of maintenance, if they blow up i wont be to sad , but i will get something else

Funny I wanted to take some of the springs out of mine , it's too stiff . Haha

@@vegasromaniac You can remove rubber things that are inside springs, it will make fork softer. Bicycle version has only one rubber, they added second one for Sur-Ron to compensate the weight.

Interesting! I have been trying to figure out what springs I can use. What spring rate did you go with and are you happy with it? Edit: So it looks like the black version is the strongest and it’s called extra firm. I think I will go with this one

Yes air escapes thru the seals a bit in that chamber , I've had that happening .. little oil not a problem lots of oil big problem

no need for oil, they leak at the bottom, you can add it but i hate the cleaning part .. ill use thick grease from now on

+1, this is quite important.

👍

Incorrect. That is what the piston is for that he pushed to the very bottom with the red rod. It's a compensator piston that is free floating in that damper tube. He wasn't clear enough about the actual arrangement. It's at 2:30 The schrader valve screws into the black tube, which goes to the end of the damper tube, and is fixed to the damper tube. Inside the damper tube is the compensator piston. When you add air it goes between the compensator piston and the bottom of the damper tube. The key is that when you assemble everything (we're at the top of the fork now) you need to push the damper piston (different from the compensator piston, it's the one that has the shims on it) all the way down before you screw it all together onto the damper tube. 5:56 He is doing it but not telling you how critical it is. The fork top cap is pushed down against the damper tube cap before he screws the damper tube cap onto the damper tube. IF he had the fork top cap up and extended away from the damper tube cap as he screwed it all together THAT is when you would get the hydrolock condition. Video is helpful but he's going super quick and not explaining the full architecture of the fork nor the improper ways to assemble it. I am 90% sure I am correct in my understanding. I have not opened this DNM fork myself, but I have opened at least a handful of other forks (bicycle and motorcycle) over the years and have made sure I understand the fluid flow and operation on every single one.

Spring needs just grease

@@vegasromaniac okay thanks. Do you know if KKE forks are similar to service?

any grease works, i used whatever i had , and i had to clue what i had most likely bearing grease

I used thats becauee i had it left over from fixing my dirtbikes ..

@@vegasromaniac lol. Is 5wt a heavy oil? How do you like it on your dirt bikes?

@@joelresto.juuntitledgtuu4i435 5wt is the minimal weight you would use in a fork. If you go to Charged Cycles they do upgrades for this fork and use slightly heavier 7.5wt oil if you choose to use a heavier spring rate.

I know , you didn't push the valve at the bottom out before you or the oil in and added air .. you need to do it in that exact same way

Did you fix in the end? I was going to say maybe you had the rebound all the way in.

Nothing wrong just dry

Spring side was full of red grease around the springs. Apart from that I didn't spot any difference. Can't comment on the other side yet, disassembly will be tomorrow.

Stiction sucks ...I hate it...yeah they still work

About 200ml, you fill to the top

Ebay

Only in one side
