On part 2 of our Yamaha 700 Tenere suspension upgrade, we install the new fork lugs and loosely assemble the forks. Camel-ADV.com TFXsuspension.com Suspension101.com
Love your videos. I appreciate that you show a lot of the steps in the product development instead of just saying "here's a product, buy it." I look forward to part 3 of this series!
Love this !!! I am in So California, waiting for the Tenere 700 to come to the US - this will be one of the first upgrades I will do. I hope this goes to production - Nice work...
Pro tip: when you get something machined that has a thread, give the machinist the parts that thread into them so that they can check the clearance when they are doing the machining. In this case you could have given him a fork tube and the rebound adjuster piece.
Is there any difference between different year K&B SSS forks? I mean, if you finally produce a kit, should we put attention on wich year SSS forks to get?
There are differences in the lengths of damping rods, lower tubes and some other small stuff. How it would affect the fitment with these parts, not sure. The lower tube sealing device for '06-'07 isn't compatible. If I end up adding this stuff to the site, I'll have to do some more research into compatibility.
I enjoy your relaxed and laid back attitude towards putting things together and generating work pieces from scratch.

You didn't adjust the damping in the cartridge ? What year/model bike did the forks come from ?
Hit up Mx Tech they send stuff of for Kashima coat, but Kashima is for the upper out fork tubes, DLC is what you want on the rod, or lower tubes.
Love this just wish I could be there to explore with you.
The "stopper" is called the bottoming cone.
Love the Odessa 100 jacket! what year was it from?
So, are these headed to production?
Hi. What type of Loctite threadlocker you use? There are a quite some to chose from, hard strenght, with closed yet different specs.
You want the 3 series so 243 medium or 263 hard that’s what we use in the suspension business works in fluids

@@CamelADV , BTW, wich bike model and year your K&B SSS fork's are from??
Did you say that te T7 has 280mm ground clearance in full extension?
284mm to be precise
Start by losing the extra 60 lbs you carry pal ... that could be the only suspension upgrade you might need ....
