Just one Cornetto, give it to me, delicious ice cream of Italy, the nuts and chocolate dream, give me Cornetto from Walls Ice Cream!!! .....great video, many thanks for taking the time out to do this.
I did notice how that spring - a 'progressive' one with variable resistance - came out of that leg the wrong way. Consequently you put it back the same wrong way. The idea is that you want as little mass on the moving part of the fork, enabling it to absorb the smaller bumps without transferring (much) of that energy upwards and hence to you. It also makes for a better continuing contact between the wheel and the road. For the progresivness of the spring action it does not make any difference how you install the spring. Thank you for going through the trouble of making these videos.
Thank you, agreed! I'm reading the Race Tech suspension bible for the second time and 'tighter coils at the top' is pretty clearly stated and explained like this. I just about lost it when I rewound this video and saw it come out the wrong way too. HOWEVER, I have the Haynes manual for this bike open in front of me and it clearly states "On NT models pull the inner tube out, then fit the spring with the closer-wound coils at the bottom, then fit the spacer seat and spacer." The photos confirm this. I'll update when I discover which direction my factory springs come out. *shrug*
My springs came out tighter coils down, so I blindly chose to trust Honda and installed my new ones tight coils down too. The hyperpro manual said "the tighter coils are *usually* installed at the top" which sounds like this might be a thing for some reason.
@@Ozark221 Haynes manuals, if you persist in finding what you need, can be a help but allow for the mistakes. I usually go by physics and common sense to conclude what is what. And not seldom found mistakes when applied, even my own!

Great detailed video. I'm gonna do this job tomorrow so it's already been a great helpfull video.
Thanks for watching Ron, glad it was of some help and all the best with changing them
