You didn’t move the damping rod up and down to bleed the air out. You do that first, then set the oil height by extracting anything over the proper amount.
How are your forks holding up, because you put the oil seal in the wrong way. The coil of the seal has to face inwards. And you have to measure the oil height from the top of the inner black tube, Not the outer gold tube. Also pump the damper rod up and down until no more air is in the rod. and then measure the oil height. I hope my comment is of some use to you.
@@masterofdisaster7427 i crashed the bike going 126mph…. Just kidding sold the bike to someone who teared the whole thing apart (forks also) and is racing it.
So I’m watching this and I’m thinking I could do this. If a guy and flip-flops in his garage could do this I totally can. Lol I finally realized I am not taking on that job. That is way too much. So how much do you think it would cost to replace fork seals at a shop?
@@bikelifecurt5482Holy shit.... 600 dollars. I live in Belfast Northern Ireland and I just recently had my fork seals done and it cost me £140 sterling which is 177.41 in dollars. Brilliant video I enjoyed watching it whilst eating my lunch 😁 Definitely not something I'd tackle myself.

Great video dude, my 08 zx10r just started pouring on the right side, I'll use your video as a guide to try do it myself.
Thanks man for watching, goodluck💪🏾 simple process once you follow the steps
Hey bud. The protruding 14mm is measured from the top of the preload adjuster nut to the top of the fork cap nut. Not the triple.
Oh man, sold the bike new owner ripped the front end off he only wheelies it like a really fast pogo stick

I was quoted at $600 by my local motorcycle shop

@@bikelifecurt5482oh I forgot to mention mine is a 2008 ZX10R
What is the blue tool you used in the video
Damper rod bleed tool by motion pro, search that on amazon and it will come right up
@@bikelifecurt5482 ok and is it a universal tool or bike specific
@@blckhulk universal it has two ends for two different thread types
How do you know what height to put the nut that’s internal
I just went based off of the manual, you can find the pdf online for the complete manual for free
Where can I buy that front stand
I got mine of motosport.com
Looks like you stripped everything out on that bike
😂sorta kinda
