Hayabusa suspension rebuild and wheel and bearing removal | Hayabusa project part 3 

Funny about the front guard screw ..I have the same screw problem..even an impact driver wouldn't budge it ...still trying.😢

get second hand forks and don't scotch bright them this time ya sod...sincerely America

i only gave it a thumbs up because its ALL BS!!

Love the videos. what make is the ratchet cheers.

Nice video, although I do prefer you waffling on than the music personally.

Oh dear. I would look at getting the chromed probably. A pattern part might no be as good.

A mate of mine at work (also called Ian weirdly) had his XJ stanchions re-chromed iirc it was a couple of hundred quid. You can get a pattern set from Brooks Barn for £250, so it's really a choice between re-chromed oem or pattern - the price is gonna be about the same. Second-hand is a gamble - could be as knackered as yours. I dread to think what new oem are gonna cost. Take it easy mate.

I would like to see the rebuild from a video point of view. But its all up to whos paying for it in the end.

Pattern tubes and sack the music.

I would upgrade. Long term peace of mind. Otherwise pointless going through all the bother of messing with the forks. Really enjoy what your doing. Keep it up.

Second hand would be the cheapest way...

For the forks, are there any from higher spec (more specialised racing bikes) that some with a set of upgraded (adjustable) forks that will fit? If so then a second hand pair of those would be an idea, if they end up needing a rebuild then fair enough, that was going too be done anyway. As long as they are in a good rebuildable condition that is.

Well there is a few considerations i would think to this, first one is like someone else put Cost of each road to go down, i know you said its just a daily rider, but it doesnt really matter because safety comes first, so unless you know the second hand replacement set is A1, i wouldnt bother going down that avenue. and unless your racing or you realy need to up grade like you do a lot of 2 up riding or touring then just the standard set with new guides and seals and oil should be fine. lf it was me i would get pattern stanchions, just take your time unscrewing the old stanchions out fo the lower castings. heat is your friend to break free from the old thread locker they use. so i would just stick with the first plan, and keep the old forks and just restore them. and if you wanted to set them up right, i would get some ktech springs and either get a new nitron rear shock with a corrected spring for weight, or send the old shock off and get it rebuilt again with a new spring. properly serviced and set up standard suspension for the riders weight usually transforms the bike better than new, because its sprung right to the rider, and not for the masses. great channel by the way.

Upgrade the forks ✌😁..

Ya ho first
