  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Is the Showa Inner Cartridge installed in a 2024 Triumph Bobber any good or prone to leaking?

  • @johnnymckissick2735

    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
      @topstar3  ปีที่แล้ว

      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?

    Where do i find the parts list/breakdown for the inner cartridge (damper) seals?

    Where did you order the replacement seal at? Tyia

  • @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  9 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  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

    how is that spring force supposed to be adjusted? the short one going to the piston

      You can get different rate springs from Showa

    great video. But i cant find that part on SDI web site, do you have a link?

    • @topstar3
      @topstar3  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can search by bike make and model, or type in the part numbers that I show in the video directly.

    Do you share your valving specs for this fork (05 CRF450 for woods riding)?

    • @topstar3
      @topstar3  ปีที่แล้ว

      These forks were off a KX250F but the stock stacks for your bike should be available on Valving Logic
