Something I should have mentioned: turn the rebound adjuster fully CCW before removing the fork cap! If you don't, and the adjuster is fully extended, it's possible for the needle to fall out. Not a big deal if you are fully disassembling, but if you aren't then it can be a pain to retrieve.

    Great instructional video. Thanks for explaining the purpose of the different fork components

    Great video, I'm thinking about heavier springs and probably heavier oil for my 400s. I feel better about doing it myself now. Thanks for posting.

    Hi Virginia Motorrad, thanks for the video. I would like to ask if you can measure the damper rod holder tool... I'd like to build it myself, so i'd like to know the size of the nut, the diameter of the hole and the length of the tool. Thank you!

    Hi, thanks for your video! May I ask what are the dimensions for the spacers you made to shorten the stroke? Cheers!

    What’s with the heat? I’ve done lots of forks and never needed heat before

    I am interested in putting a lowering bushing in my DRz forks, can I remove the cartridge without doing the full lower disassembly? I'm thinking get it down to springs removed, unthread the cartridge and remove though the top.

    can i use kerosene to wash the fork parts and seals??????
  • @Raythe
    when my damper rod came out, the inner inner rod, a needle and spring came with it, is that normal, or does that mean something is broken?

    How would you remove the lugs off the forks?? Thanks in advance!
