Bit of a tip for re installing fork cap, prior to putting the springs in install the cap until the threads just catch, make a sharpy mark on the cap and fork inline, then put the spring in and line the cap up about 1/4 turn from the marks lining up so you are right at the point of it catching, makes it a bit easier when fighting with a spring

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, sounds like a great trick!

@nickhellen6303 11 месяцев назад

Nicely done. I’ve found the best device to fill forks is a large veterinarian syringe. With a capacity of 100ml, it’s SO easy to fill the forks with no mess & no fuss. Plus you attach plastic tubing to it and suck oil/ brake fluid/ clutch fluid out. Also, it’s highly accurate, and you get the complete and correct amounts of fork oil in. I found using exactly that jug you did, that there’s at least 10-15ml left in it.Unless you leave it upended over the forks to drain in. But no one does. I also wrap the body of the syringe with clear Sellotape to preserve the measurement markings. They’re also great for reverse brake bleeding; and clutch bleeding. With different syringes of course.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Give one of these a try Nick.. ive been using one for a couple of years now.. all the benefits you say, and also the seals won't degrade over time due to noxious fluids ! www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/oil-and-brake-fluid-inspection-syringe-200ml-120826?search=VS404&description=true

@tinks43 11 месяцев назад

Nice to have an easy day getting back to work, glad you’ve recovered 👍🏻

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Thanks mate 👍, just all happening at once, needed to slow for a moment, but all back to normal business now!

@jasonshortphd 11 месяцев назад

Never seen drain plugs like that on a fork. I usually see them through the bottom and you have to remove the axel to get them. That was quite easy. Wouldn’t mind doing them every year in that case.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, wouldn't you think it'd be a sensible addition to any bike with regular forks !

@wobblysauce 11 месяцев назад

Makes them a joy to change

@blackops2376 11 месяцев назад

Hey Delboy, ive been watching your older videos a while now... i have ran into a problem with my yamaha r6. Whenever the bike is rolling it feels bumpy on the rear almost as if something is stuck on the tyre. I checked the tyre which is new and not punctured, the pressure is well in spec. I just cant seem to figure this one out?? Any advice? Could it be a worn bearing? Its only coming from the rear

@rickrogers2649 11 месяцев назад

I'm always afraid to say "this should be an easy job" or even think it. 😁😄🤣 Nice to catch a break once in a while. Any bike that rolls through the doors of your shop is destined for some serious TLC. Glad to see you and Penny got a day off last week. You both certainly deserve it. Cheers and Thanks as always.❤👍👍

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Yeah isn't it nice when things go better than expected Rick, doesn't happen often lol Thanks for your kind wishes, we're back to normal business! Have a great rest of the week there, and ride safe... D&Px

@pauldavis8421 11 месяцев назад

Great video as always! That fork oil was filthy! So it always pays to stick to the maintenance schedule! Take care Del

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

It sure does mate.. irrelevant of how bad it smells of looks.. the bike actually performs better when fresh fork oil.!

@bsv64 10 месяцев назад

As easy as that, another job well done

@renzovc 11 месяцев назад

Great video as always brother !! learned something new about draining fork oil. Great DIY for sure brother , and yes it definitely needed it some fresh fluid ! keep up the great work brother ! stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!🍺🍺🍺

@MintyGusto 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video and refreshing to see drain plugs on forks that actually, well, just work! Hope you and the lovely P are both well mate - glad to see you back though!

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

@hdi1200 11 месяцев назад

Are the drain plugs JIS rather than Phillips?

@billatchison9898 11 месяцев назад

What was the torque of the fork pinch bolt?

@Almightyrastus 11 месяцев назад

Mmmm, I bet that smells like all the fun... Old and worn out heavy oil is a scent that I remember only too well from doing gearbox, transfer case, steering box, and both axles on my old '61 Land Rover. Nice touch with the little drain plugs though, makes a nice change from taking the forks off or having to remove the wheel to get at a similar point.

@hdi1200 11 месяцев назад

My 2015 Sportster XL1200C does not have drain plugs on the fork. ☹️

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, makes you wonder why it isn't standard on every regular fork leg ever... and even more strange why Harley abandoned it and no longer have them..! and ooh yeah, that fragrance.. Boiled Egg sandwiches with garlic mayo....lol!

@bruciebhoy 11 месяцев назад

Amazing drain bolt.oh and good job.thanks😊

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much 😀

@tonypagan8852 3 месяца назад

What tool did you use to reinstall the fork bolts while pushing in the springs?

@Moonfleet41 3 месяца назад

Just a socket, pushed down on it hard enough and twist... can be a little fiddly whilst pushing hard, but it works ok!

@oilageman9883 11 месяцев назад

Wish I’d seen this last year when I did my Dyna! Those soft grips would have been a must. I struggled to find the correct socket for those tops. Might be worth a link to that Del? Word of warning, when I pumped mine it went all over my brake discs! Might want to cover those too. Thanks D & P.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

"Might be worth a link to that Del?" Link is right there at the top of the list in the description below the video mate.. i knew a few people would find them worth putting on the tool list..! And yes, always go over the disc after with brake cleaner for sure. !

@eddiegerlach7121 11 месяцев назад

Checked both my 04 Sporty XL1200C and my 05 Dyna Low Rider..I have those drain screws, too. Thanks for the video, as I now need to change the fork fluids since I haven't a clue as to past history and seeing your fluids kinda freaked me out a bit. 😳👍

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Ha ha, im gonna bet they're both a bit ripe... but one bonus is that changing it will instantly improve the feel of the front end.. !

@tommylitchfield3450 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes, like watching a cooking video, or seeing a freshly mowed hay field onscreen, I wish that the viewer could smell what was happening onscreen... Watching a fork oil change video, I am so very glad that that tech doesn't exist... My guess is, you won't have to trim your nose hairs for a while, since the stink probably burned them clean off! :)

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Ha ha... you've smelt it too then mate..lol!

@stephenalbright6961 11 месяцев назад

Why didn't you lubricate the clutch cable? I thought I was the only one to use a batter scraper in the garage, cheers

@billatchison9898 10 месяцев назад

Went to do my fork oil on my 1988 fxrs but couldn’t even break loose the fork caps! Any help would be appreciated.

@vazza7504 11 месяцев назад

Top job as always Del. Fork oil was nasty!!!! Nice fresh oil, lurrrrrvly. 👍 Thanks for video 👍

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Thanks mate👍, yeah certainly needed changing aye..!

@neillambton4065 11 месяцев назад

Hiya Del, looking at the state of the old oil that came out, can i ask why you did`nt put some cleaning agent in there to flush out all the filthy residue?.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Interesting question, and one I've answered a couple of times in Q&A's and made mention of in quite a few videos... remember that flushing agents are solvent based and literally break down and dissolve oil, and as there's always going to be a residue of any liquid that ends up inside the fork, imagine what the residue of the flushing agent will do to your new oil... personally, changing it every year is all it needs!

@springy-2112 11 месяцев назад

You know its been overlooked when you have to poke a swan vesta in the hole to make it drain. (cx500) ...can you even buy matches now? Probably have a warning not to use near sources of ignition! 😂 ✌️❤️🤗

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Yes, and im sure they're organic now so you can't cut the heads off and wedge them in a copper tube..! Long live GenX aye brother !! lol

@johnk7814 11 месяцев назад

Wow fork legs with drain plugs 😳 makes the job much easier and faster than stripping the fork down the drain them . 👍🏻

It certainly does, halves the time. !

And i'd say that's a safe bet brother..!

@kevinstephens3792 11 месяцев назад

Did I see Penny whilst you were installing the fork springs! (Reflection) Hi Penny, hope you are well? Also hope you are not allowing Del to do too much work, hope the health is still good Del, nice video, thanks. Take it easy.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Yeah Kevin, it was, she's often busy working herself, but usually behind the scenes as you saw! And thanks for asking, my health is 'work in progress', we just try to balance life, family and work!

@loddude5706 11 месяцев назад

Knew a guy once that swore his mid-70's FXE handled better with 10w in one leg & 20w in the other. How he came to that conclusion I don't know . . strangely, nobody's seen him for years. (Maybe he bought a Soft-tail Springer & somehow tried the same trick on that - 'CLANG!' : )xx P.S. The editing on 'fitting the new clutch bracket' was, well, it just WAS . . deserves chocolate

@hollywaller1265 11 месяцев назад

I've just discovered your videos over the last week and I absolutely love them, not only are they incredibly relaxing, they are also the best videos I've ever seen on motorbike mechanics, and you 100% have the highest "knowledge imparted to words spoken" ratio of the whole internet. Watching these as I rebuild by little AJP PR3 is making much more confident I'm doing the right thing. Thank you for the time and effort you have invested in these! Having some a small amount of editing myself, I can't imagine the hours you put in.

@Moonfleet41 11 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for your kind words, I think once you get involved in editing, like you say, you know how hard it can be! Good luck with your project, have fun!
