Twin Chamber Fork Cartridge ICS damper seal replacement
In this video I detail how to access and replace the cartridge and damper rod seals in a set of Showa 47mm twin chamber forks. Should apply to most Showa models and some KYB as well.

First start of the bike after a COMPLETE teardown and rebuild. Basically a new bike! Entire engine was torn down, crank rebuilt, top end is all new, etc. The right side cover is missing because I still had to top off the coolant once al lthe air bubbles were bled. I had to adjust the idle too once it was running, that's why you have to stare at my ginch for a few seconds! ;)

    That damper seal in the upper part.... Ive got over an hour into it and still cant get it to budge! Yes, I have the circlip out and the washer. Screw drivers and picks to no avail... There has to be a technique to it that I have not seen in the 3 decades Ive been working on things. Its embarrassing at this point.

    Thanks this does help a lot. But LOL, you didn't show the hardest parts. Getting the cap loosened up from the rod, "had to heat it up like you suggested to get it unstuck". Removing the seal was very difficult as well.

  • @eastwood111
    @eastwood111 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it normal for the cartridge spring to be loose in the cartridge? I was thinking my old cartridge springs were wore out and I needed softer ones, but they’re the same exact length. Even with the new springs installed it’s like it’s not long enough or it needs a preload. Is this normal?

    • @topstar3
      @topstar3 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s normal. The spring will be under pressure once the ICS piston rises up when the fork is bled.

    I'm curious if your damper rod is 12 or 12.5mm diameter.. seems like there's 2 different seals available. My damper rod on a 2012 rmz450 measure 12.5mm. so ordered a 12.5mm seal. Maybe some 250 or older twin chamber models have a 12mm damper rod?

    • @topstar3
      @topstar3 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know for Kawasaki, they went to a 12.5mm in 2008. Not sure about other brands.

    Nice overview, thank you. I’ve replaced these seals years ago on my 450x and just needed a refresher on the process. Time for CR250R to get new seals. The showa twin chamber 47’s are dandy forks.

  • @johnnymckissick2735
    @johnnymckissick2735 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So under my spring in-between the piston body, I have a pre load spacer that I have never seen on any other forks? Is this an aftermarket piece?

    • @topstar3

      It must be, I haven’t seen that before either!

    • @eastwood111
      @eastwood111 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe they added it because the spring is loose. That’s the issue with min, the spring is loose and it’s like it needs some type of preload. Did you figure this out?

    Spraying from behind? ..I do not like.

    • @3DConstructLLC
      @3DConstructLLC 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Betas always spray from behind at PDX. We need to spray at gates because we do not have pads, which looks to be the case with this aircraft. It gives betas more room to operate and they still can reach the leading edges from behind the wing and can quickly swing around to do the vert/horizontal stabs. On Q-400's we can spray everything but the tip of the co-pilots wing while doing a single ops.

    • @Plencis1
      @Plencis1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      behind or from front it doesnt matter. in SAE is writen, from leading edge to trailing edge, upper to lower surfaces. he did lower wing and then removes all snow from fuselage. its not correct...

    Beautiful scenery there and nice video. One of the most turbulent flights I've ever been on was an American 707 back in the mid 70s. We took off from Tucson on a very hot summer day for DFW, and the first 10 minutes of gaining altitude and getting over the mountains was pretty exciting. It was mostly thermal turbulence, although there may have been some mountain-induced turbulence as well as we crossed over them.
