I have shirts for sale on my website www.knoblemoto.com/shop
I also have tons of info on my blog, on my website.
I do in person classes at Skidmark Garage in Cleveland Ohio. You can take classes in 101 Motorcycle maintenance, carburetors, motorcycle electrical systems, suspension repair, basics of Mig welding, and specialty tools. In addition, I have an engine building class that S&S Cycle sponsors. They support the grassroots crowd, by sending me two warranty return engines, that people can disassemble, and reassemble, to help them build confidence before tearing into their own engine.

I’m going with the heavy duty springs made for big boys over 200lbs. Hoping that will help the bike
It’s a good plan for “eaters” like us.
Thx bud, much appreciated. How do the new springs feel?
Great. It handles correctly in turns now, and since I upgrade the rear shocks, it rides like a couch.
The smaller “preload” springs you took out was replaced with the washer and pvc pieces is that correct? I didn’t see them go back in. Thanks great video.
Yes, the PVC is cut to a different length than stock. The length is specified by Progressive.
@@KnobleMoto 10-4 thank you.
you don't have to remove the front wheel or relieve the weight that on the front wheel?
No. Just jack the bike up enough that the front suspension tops out and the wheel comes off the ground
I noticed you didn’t change out the fork oil, is it not necessary?
Not necessary to change the oil, but it can’t hurt. Just make sure the oil drains off the springs before you remove them.
Did the springs raise up the front end a little bit?
A small amount. About where it was when the bike was new. You could cut the preload spacers a little longer to help lift it.
Thnx! I just ordered a set of springs so I hope it will be a nice upgrade
@@nicovanommeren5641 you won’t regret it. Stock is terrible.
What weight fork oil are you using?
20 weight
In video I didn’t see where fork oil was changed. Did I miss that?
@@humid-rb7rt you didn’t miss it, it was not in the video. I did not change the oil, because you don’t have to change it to change the springs. Also I generally don’t change fork oil because it is difficult to get it all out without full disassembly. So I just run the same oil until one of the seals go, then do a full rebuild on both forks.
Did you not have a damper rod in your 883??
Yes. The damper rod is in the bottom of the fork. No need for removal for swapping springs
@@KnobleMoto Did I miss in the video where you unscrewed your damper rod from the fork Cap/spring. I got the right one swapped no prob but left fork is challenging me lol
@@kcs316 I don’t think I have done a video of full fork Teardown. I do a in person class on it.
@@KnobleMoto where are you located?? Cause I legit can't get the right spring out. Cap is completely unscrewed but it's attached to the damper. I would love to attend something like this
@@kcs316 Cleveland Ohio. I Do a suspension class once or twice a year. I am about due. Www.KnobleMoto.com
