Hi Llia, Thanks so much for this video, It made the job easy, your descriptions of the actions needed and the slow and methodical way you did it with no special tools was great. Also, I like your cat. Do more videos.
Fixed the leaky seal, grit got passed the dust cap, slide it down, wipe clean, cut a plastic milk carton to a rectangle with a Nike tick hook, push up half inch thru the seal, run around twice, pull hook down out.
In the technical manual it refers to heat to remove the bush (which you didn't replace during your video) not the seal on top of it. Sorry, had to point that out, however can you guess what job I'm doing at the moment? Yes that's right I'm replacing my fork seals, otherwise a very helpful video.
Helpfull video but to everyone changing their seals i suggest u take also the dust caps off when the fork is dissassembled. Much easier that way than the way he did it when the fork was still assembled. At least my dust boots were very hard on, i couldnt remove them without damaging the fork, except when it was dissassembled.
How did you get your front end off the ground with no forks? There seems to be no place on the bike to safely put a stand, as the motor is exposed on the bottom. There is no frame parts or anything on the bottom to lift the bike from.
Shawn Paul take the plastic cover off the bottom, and then just put some wood right under the engine while lifting the motorcycle up. It's quite lightweight, you can do this alone. Or - via small central lift for 50$.
I'm using the Rc,but I think is same,in the user manual is showing 460ml for each fork,but fill in 460ml 5w oil is too stiff for my body weight when hard braking,almost left a 2 inch dive travel,but the stock oil 4w (if not mistaken)is too soft for me,do u know what's the minimum and maximum oil capacity the fork can support?thanks
I think it for sure does. If it's just mudguards in the front - not that much, but it's something like this: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0202/2860/4004/products/AERztpCJJ29EQZiRMXk-OYi65K09melWAeZjA_yXJm3m6jKDJkK5GcJOfny-E32hg2YsDr9T_BGG6cMW7my4HmNnKY5KN_Ji102YGHMP-2CKRlF1A2jMeRB_Ub-UsT2ThyRdwlko402VKarDT-fmJkTu9df0ffQdmYx9ozCCffq7rE1tFXDVs4D_1024x.jpg?v=1571714697 - helps a lot.
+Alicia Elston hard to say. The one I replaced failed after a crash, The second one is still good. There are ~6k on odometer. According to my motorcycle experience - usually up to 50k, then - depends in your luck. Protective guards (like on Transalp/Afrika) usually help a lot.
This is not the factory oil seal right ? Because I already change the oil seal from the factory, a weeks after that my floor is fill with fork oil..damn it.. Is this athena fork kit hold up better compare to the factory one ?

I agree, mine were absolutely stuck, especially the seal on top of the bush.

Do suspension cover helps in keeping the dirt off??
I think it for sure does.

The Fork oil for each fork is 450 ml, isn't it?
hi can you tell me how much inches from the top was the oil level when you finished bleeding out all the air from the shocks?
Unfortunately no... The only thing I can suggest is to drain all the oil, measure the amount and then fill again.
How much did you get when you measure it?
I am hoping you measures yours, I put 450 ml in each buy one level is higher than the other.

+Ilia Kondrashov Thanks mine has failed after the repair from a crash so I am a bit pissed at the garage who replaced the forks after the accident
+Alicia Elston maybe the shock tube was damaged during the accident, so seals replacement will not help for a long time.
Bolden job
