Episode 4.
On this Episode I'm going to replace the right hand fork seal on the 2015 Ducati Scrambler classic, the video is a little lenghty, but I show step to step how to replace a fork seal. This also apply to all modern up-side-down forks, the sizes might change but the steps are basically the same.
We are one step closer to make the Scrambler in tip top mechanical shape.
I hope you guys enjoy and thanks for watching.

SORRY I HAD A BRAIN FART, THE AXLE NUT IS A 28mm.
Yep, and the axle pinch bolts sure aren't 15 foot pounds. I just had a brand new one snap at 12.
Hi Lukas, sorry the bolt snapped, I know how much of a pain that is, even if the axle pinch bolt torque is less than 15 ft/lbs , the bolt shouldn’t snap off at 12 ft/lbs, 12ft/lbs is about hand tight. I would take it back and have it replaced, it might be a defective bolt.
Albe, my firks are pitted and leaking on my scrambler icon of 3500 miles. Am planning on changing the chromed inner tubes but apparently there is a special tool to detach them from the bottom ends. Have you any advice on that please?
Hi Nemer, If they are like other fork tubes, you need a tool to hold the chromed inner tube without damaging it while you unscrew the bottom part and possibly a special screwdriver to unscrew the locking screw, on other forks is usually an Allen key
@@AlbesADV yep. It's that special tool that nobody's seen or heard of😂
As a Ducati Scrambler scrambler owner myself these videos are very good indeed. I can’t wait for you to get around to the valve check and the belt change please!!!
Excellent video my friend. Has given me the confidence to do this myself and save the labour charge from a garage. Might have to buy a few tools to add to my collection but then I will have them for further projects.
another very clear & concise vid........excellent explanations & cautions. I do not have a way to lift my bike safely so I will reluctantly have to get my bike to a garage. btw,my forks failed at 13K miles, that's extraordinary !
Nice video. Nice accent, also :-). So no worries about your special friends you mentioned. However, some notes to the instructions, if you won't mind me doing so. The spacer is actually the other retainer ring and both should be replaced, if worned. Also it might be better to control the oil level by measuring the air volume, since one actually never knows, how much old oil is still in there and end up with an incorrect level. And, as somebody else already mentioned, loosen the upper clamp first, before loosen the big fork screw. I' m looking forward for you working on the complete fork for another of your fine videos. I haven't worked on mine yet and am very curious on how the left part is constructed. Thanks, dude, for this one.
I don't mind at all, any add-on is welcome 😀👍
Very detailed great video! This is something I didn’t think I would be able todo myself and now I’m confident in my ability todo so.
Thanks Monster mike 👍
Great video. A list of all tools used in the description would help a lot. I'm sitting here with a notepad trying to catch all the equipment used.
Thanks for the tip, I'll start doing that 😀👍
Really nice! Your video helped a lot. Simple and Cleary, thanks!
my 696 aeal just started leakng thanks for posting this
Another useful instruction video for the Scrambler. You did a great job.
Thanks, spread the word 👍
I watched and learnt from many of your instruction videos about the bike and now I am myself so confident to do all the jobs for my love - Ducati Scrambler. Keep your job up!
very useful, thanks
Albe, your Scrambler videos are top notch. I think it's time to go the next step and do a full, comprehensive valve adjust video for us all? :D Also, I'll say it again, who are the two ding dongs that come here to give a thumbs down? Did you spell Hello Kitty incorrectly again and wound up here instead? :)
Lol, maybe they don't like my face or my accent 🤣, I imagine it to be the same guy that methodically goes through my videos and gives a thumb down, that would be hilarious 😂
Good and clean job!
Hi albe... 1st, great video. Thanks I learned allot.
Can you make a video about rear suspension setting? Looking forward to it. Thanks
Thank you Ivan.
For suspension, youtube Dave Moss. If you're dealing with the stock rear shock, it's pretty straight forward since it only has 5 settings. If you have an aftermarket Ohlins or other. Learn about free sag/preload etc and go from there. Dave Moss is your guy. Not that Albe isn't capable but why waste his time when he can make other Scrambler videos for us? :D
Very good. Great!
Very good video easily be explained
Some people change the spring and cut 1,2 cm white plastic washer inside the right fork to be able to get better suspension. They also change the fork oil with thinner one. Would you recommend this type of mod or Andreani fork cartridge is way to go?
+N Kamaş if you can afford it the Andreani forks are definitely the way to go
Great video. More Scrambler. Exhaust????
+Nirvash my plans for the exhaust are to temporarily fit the oem back on while I figure out a way to put a catalytic converter on the aftermarket that's on right now, the cat is going to give me the back pressure I need while acting as a spark arrester and quiet it down a bit too
Please lossen the top clamp before trying to turn the cap or you can bust the treads on the aluminum cap.
I did, I guess I edited it out of the video, but thanks for the reminder 👍
Which clamp? I was confused
He is talking about the triple clamp, that thing that holds both fork tubes and the steering head
How can I inspect if the forks are straight? thank you, awesome vide btw
The only way to see if the tubes are really straight, without using any specialized tools is to take is apart and roll it on a straight surface while shining a light behind it.
The two Forks are diferent. They take also diferent quantity of oil. Also in the Left fork you don have access to the spring!! Is it possible for a suggestion how to remove the left spring? Thank you.
I believe the left fork doesn’t have a spring in it
@@AlbesADV not even a smaller one ? There is something underneath a sealed space, I imagine it needs a special tool to remove it. I changed both seals two days ago many thanks for your great video!!! Cheats from Greece !
Chears
According to the manual, it's just 1 spring
@@AlbesADV Thank Albe for your response!!
good day Albe, is there no need to replace the seal on the left fork? it doesn't seem to be discussed in the video?
Also, the tools you are using, do you have a link for it on where to get them? thanks. Love your videos, learned so much.
In my case the bike had so little miles that the seal on the left side was fairly new and the leak on the right was very strange, in the end the right seal was not wore out, but looked like a little stone cut a grove into it, if the bike had more miles I would have done both.
thanks albe. everytime I watched your video, it very knowledgeable. I like watching them over & over again.
how about the fork seal tool? can you suggest a good brand/size?
I use a "Stockton universal fork seal driver" 39 to 50mm forks. amzn.to/2wl938c
Thanks albe.
Nice vid Albe. Novice question but do you need a Ducati fork seal tool or will any general one do? And does the tool have to be for a specific diameter fork? Thanks!
+thomasprobin no, the tool is a universal seal pusher and works with multiple diameter forks. I added a link in the description, you don't have to buy it off of it if you don't want, but you can check the specs on the amazon description page 👍🏼
Albe's Adv thanks for the link. You made a scary job seem doable for me. Thanks again
Hi Albe, question for you when putting the front wheel on, did you remove the brake pads from the caliper and then put them back when the disk was in place?
Hi Chaz, no, I left the brake pads in tge caliper
@@AlbesADV Thanks! These videos are great by the way! Thanks so much for taking the time to upload them.
No problem man 😀👍
Excelente video. Pregunta Que aceite de suspensión utilizaste. ? Que viscosidad?
7.5w
@@AlbesADV muchas gracias por la respuesta. Si podes pasarme bien la marca del aceite. Me interesa saber la viscosidad a 40°c . Pero de nuevo agradezco tu respuesta.
No conozco la viscosidad a los 40c, lo siento
@@AlbesADV muchas gracias por responder. Y de nuevo excelente video. Voy seguir viendo tu canal. Éxitos!!!
Muchas gracias Mariano
Hola. Tienes un tutorial de cambio de transmisión (cadena, piñon y corona)?
No, no tengo
I'm very new to the motorcycle world, what happen if you use 10wt fork oil instead of 7.5wt does it change the way the fork performs?
Hi Arturo, the oil is thicker and slows down the dumping, in simple words the fork goes up and down slower.
Good video. But I’m having a hard time finding the seals online. Can you send me the link for the seals you used? Thank youuu
Hi Joel, I actually got them from a local Ducati dealer, most dealers will ship them to you if you give them a call.
nice video,
i want to know What size of Seal
is it 41X54X11 ??
thank you
Yes it is.
good job
La medida correcta es 41*53*8/11.5
Hi albe! Jjst wondering how often must you chage fork seals?
Hi Wiw, only if they start leaking, otherwise just replace the fork oil when your owners manual requires it 😀👍
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate all your videos since I'll soon be starting out on my own ducati scrambler
That is great, 👍
What size of Ducati scrambler Fork Seal and Wiper?
I believe they are 43mm, but I'm not sure, that was a while ago
Hi, do both forks have the same amount of oil?
Hi, no they don't, the side without the spring has more oil on it but I can't remember how much
The seal is 41*53*8/11.5
OK, so you did the right front fork, how about the left? They are different and come apart different, can you show how to get the spring out of the left front?
Hi Layton, the LH one does not have a spring nor the pre-load tube. The procedure is the same as the RH tube but simpler since you don’t have to deal with the spring and the pre-load tube, the quantity of fluid is only 298cc rather than 427cc.
@@AlbesADV hi, thanks. Yes, it does have a spring, but is held together differently. and no preload tube. I have them in my garage now taken out of my bike to change the oil and the LH fork definately springs up and down even without the oil. I know the manual says it does not have one but that is a mistake in the editing. I was just wondering before I go to disassemble the LH fork if anyone had a video on how it iooks before I dive into it. Blessings
@@MotoWorld777 thanks for the info, I was going according to what the manual says. I'm planning on getting better springs for the front so I guess I'll figure it out then.
Good luck and let me know how it goes. 😀👍
@@MotoWorld777 might have to do my LH seal. Any advice since it seems you did yours some time ago?
@@quinnlamb559 hi, sure, two things come to mind. one use a seal cleaner- a thin piece of plastic that you can stick under the seal and slide around. This can clear any dust build up or dirt that can cause a leak. If you fell the seal really is bad, then you will need a special tool to take apart the left fork. a long socket type tool with a special toothed end to it the fits down inside the fork to loosen the retaining piece. Ducati sells this tool, or you an make one.
I am trying to replace the for seals on my 2013 monster 796,
I am having a hard time figuring out how to open the LH fork.
Can someone help please??
Did you figure it out?
Mee too!
Desert Sled!
Is it the same?
The way you take it Apart should be the same, I'm not sure about the fluid quantity since the desert sled has more travel.
@@AlbesADV Hey Albe, greets from the old continent.
I´m not sure, because the Sled has a total different fork.
Hi there, I agree, it's a different fork but should come apart in the same way, and then again I haven't taken one apart so it might be totally different.
How long exchange fork oil or seal.?
Usually it's different for different bikes, I would refer to the manual. When it comes to the seals, they need to be replaced when they start leaking.
@@AlbesADV Thank you. My bike ducati scrambler :). Your video has helped a lot. We look forward to your continued activities.
For the scrambler it is recommended to replace the fork oil every 22500 miles or 36000 km 👍
What kind of oil did you use??
Hi Joel, I used PJ1 7.5Wt fork oil, there is a link in the description
What size are the oil seals?
I'm not sure, I just ordered the scrambler seals from Ducati, but the fork should be a 43mm
How much oil in that suspension???
Lx fork 298cc , Rx fork 427cc.
@@AlbesADV thank you Very much.🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
your better off using everything in the kit and while doing that job buy another kit for the other fork and change everything in that at the same time .., the forks work as a pair and parts wear out as a pair .., it's cheap peace of mind IMO that the job is fully completed and needs no further premature attention
The seal wasn't wore out, it was damaged, something got in there and chipped off a piece of the seal, at 2800 miles there shouldn't be much wear on them, but as soon as I have some spare time I'll do the other seal as well.
I want you to do my scrambler forks 🥵😭
I’ll be with you in spirit when you do them 😁👍
