Thanks for a very instructive video! Just a thought - don't you get lots of air bubbles down into the oil when you let the springs down after you've waited to get your air bubbles up?
You used a multi viscosity oil. On multi viscosity oils the first number with lowercase w indicates the winter rating, the second number is the viscosity of the oil. You used a 40 weight oil, not 10. When they say 10W fork oil, they don't mean 10w-40........ The highest viscosity oil recommended on these is 20. So you should use 5w-20 if using motor oil, or better yet a straight 20 weight fork oil.
Matt Culler w does not stand for winter, but I agree with the rest of this statement. 10 is viscosity when oil is cold, 40 when operating temp. You should be using actual fork oil for this.
@@kcycle1308 well yea, winter as in cold, but even in winter the oil gets to operating temp eventually. Either way in forks you dont want the viscosity to change ever
This is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Well done mate!!
+Wikus Van Stade Thanks! I enjoyed making it! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I am currently doing seals on an 82 gs 650. Thanks!....Paul.
Paul Gunns np man! Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Thanks Keith! I'm just in the process of putting my forks back together for the first time. I found your video really helpful! Thanks for posting it!
Scott Farraway Thanks for watching!!
Hey, thanks for posting this. Made things a ton easier on a fork swap.
Np Man! Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
I'm doing the forks on my 1982 gs750t.
Thanks for the video!

what's tube size for tires?
Nice Tutorial - Thank you.
Gracias por este video, me fué de gran utilidad!!!, thanks a lot for this video, it was very useful!!!
Hey where did you get replacement seals I have a 1982 gs850 and can’t find fork seals anywhere
Try partzillas website by looking up the make model and year of the bike. Other than that you can try ebay. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video it helped alot

@@cyriously_nick2191 I've always heard w stands for winter.???

Great video
can u cut the spring to lower my front forks more
use steel wool to clean rust.
Thanks
