Just remember to grease it, WD40 isn't lubricant :)

Good

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am converting a couple old bikes into a dirt jumper bike and I needed suspension for heavy landings. I used this video and it saved my life as I was going to buy a new suspension fork but I used the video and saved at least a hundred bucks
For everyone who's watching, he did it all correctly except for that he forgot to grease it properly at the end (WD40 does not serve as Grease).
Bike suspensions should always use non rubber corrosive greases like Calcium Grease with almost always type 2 grease viscosity.
Nice video, bye bye!
Hi, I've just a bike with these forks, do they not need any fork oil?
Hi, do you know where to get those other than a bike shop?
This comment is underrated. It is a common misconception to use WD-40 as a lubricant. WD-40 is a SOLVENT. It is designed to remove dirt/grime, etc. WD-40 is not a LUBRICANT. Grease is a lubricant.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me restore an old mountain bike so I can get into the sport! You helped me get into the sport of mountain biking and I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.
Thank you man!You just helped a 12 year old mtb enthusiast to make his suspensions softer!thank you so much!
He didnt grease it
@@Kemo-sc7nt I can do that lol
@@peterpopovics9901 do it then dont use wd40 for greasing PLEASE use it to clean
@@sbek1386 WD40 have whole asortiman of products from basic lubricants and cleaners to high end Lithium lubricants etc etc we pessants call WD 40 just one product - universal one ..
Thanks for posting, just bought my son a 2nd hand mtb bike and the forks are stiff. This is really useful.
You missed the grease.
Edgardo Infante yes I did...all I had at the time was WD40
Thanks for the video. I did the same yesterday with my fork and used your technique to clean the spaces between the fork and the tubes with a rug and a stick. Happy riding :)
Edgardo Infante That's it man!!! Keep Riding🤘🏻
Thanks for this. I have just bought a teflon grease and wondering where exactly i should apply it to my fork?
Jones Tizmo Just apply the grease on all moving parts and work is done
I’ve been looking for a good video and this one actually helped

Thanks very much . I was searching for such a video . my suspension was stuck for years..
very timely that YT recommend this vid. 👍🏽👊👏
I just want to say thank you!! my trek 4 series hardly moved, now it good as new!!! thank you!
Nathan McDonald You welcome mate! Keep Riding
You gotta grease it. You
Can't just slap it back together with only WD40
I had the exact same problem, this video helped a lot :) my mountain bike suspension is working like new again
Wow this is owesom I ben looking for a video with out much chit- chat. Just this video is perfect. And believe me a learn and fix my bike 100%. Thank you very much 😊
I can’t take the cover of the suspension off as the bolts are covered, is there nothing I can do?
This is very helpful - have not seen the insides of front forks before - thank very much for sharing!
All fork instructions say Don't ever use WD40 on them. It swells seals and causes damage. Only use Correct grease
I was about to say that. You can almost hear the cry from help as he compressed 😂
Super good job! Thanks for posting that.
Thank you for the video. Please telk me this: what's the size of wrench you used to remove the top cap of the fork? Thanks
i did mine today it was full of rusty water so after cleaning i loaded it up with grease i guess it will help keep water out
Don’t wipe the grease out tho it will attract dust
@@alvierisolorio1791 he did put grease wdym?
I’m a beginner, and this definitely super helpful
at 3:10 mine was very tide its not coming and i unfortunately breaks it and some parts got inside the suspension what should i do
If you don't have grease to hand Don't use WD40 use something like a wet chain lube if you have to. It'll protect the moving parts far better than a thin, solvent based oil which will dry out quickly and leave everything unprotected.
Better still, wait until you have a dedicated suspension grease!
Great vid, only change is the WD-40 for final lube. It is mostly kerosene not a lubricant and evaporates. Need to add a lite lube at the assembly. Great work.
Can this fork fit in the hero ranger bicycle
How do I fix my forks if i can't adjust themm my suspension forks was stuck on stiff and i want them to be softer my forks were still clean tho
Did you find a solution
@Max Kozinets 👍👍👍❤️👌👌👌
i would suggest getting a new valve adjuster or check for any corrosion or breaks inside the mechanism less about the fork and more about the hardware inside
Nicely done. I was thinking you were about to grease it and then forgot about it. I'd maybe spray white lithium grease down the fork.
Jesus no it would destroy the lowers as they are made out of magnesium, Always use suspension grease
Bro this helped me Soo much. Thank you!
Druze jel mogu sve to isto uraditi na tori 318 solo air.Jedan stap ulje drugi vazduh necu napraviti problem da iscuri ulje ili vazduh i dali je na kraju podmazivanje stapova samo wd-om.Hvala na video ako je sve to tako da uradim sam da ne dajem pare servisu...pocelo da mi se cuje da cakne kad propadne amortizer unutra malo dublje...hvala joy jednom
I have a specialized mycha 26. It Has the original forks on it (XCT-V3) .. they are basically the same as these. Am I able to stiffen them up? It's made for someone the weighs much less than me..
I purchased a new Aventon Level E Bike in Mar 2022, it has the cheap
zoom fork, after about 2 weeks the front fork makes a clunk sound when
going over some bumps and it's
pissing me off, it does not do this when it's locked out though, does
anyone know what the issue is? Or even an upgrade fork the would fit
this bike? Thanks John
That was fantastic!!! Just what I was looking for! Thanks dude!
Hello i have the problem. Can you please help me, when i push them in they wouldnt come back up, and it just blocks like that, and i need to pull them up to get them back, and they wont even go in after some time, and also they are hard to pull in. Some people told me to that i need to rub them with hard paper, and wd-40 but i dont know if that would damage them, idk what to do pls help me. I drive TREK XCALIBER 8, with suntour xcr fork.
No shock absorber oil added?
Hi i notice u pull one one side for cleaning, the side that is use for adjustment. How about the other side? Anyway to open it?
Does this video applies to all basic suntour sus? I happen to have an old bike GT avalanche
Pls advise thank you you
WD40 removes greese and that's good and I'm sure they work better now but they will wear out quite fast BC you need to have greese in there ! Ahaha
Nick james You are right! After this vid I lub it with some grease
How mutch WD40??
Hahhaha
WD 40 has a high amount of water in it & should not be used on a bike ?
@@stephenboyd4934 WD = Water Displacement and 40 was the experiment number.
This is the most useful vid I seen in years ,.. really helpful
Please don't use this video as it will probably cause more cost that if you ask a professional
videoclipul acesta m-a facut sa-mi doresc mai mult sa-mi pun furca pe fata cu suspensii :)
Thank you. You saved my bike!
nice work m8. A piece of practical advice. When you spray WD40 on an item and then plan to clean it with a rug, better to hold the rug behind it durig spray, in order to avoid making a mess around and not waste lubricant material
Did you do both sides of the suspension or just the lock side?
I have a GT Avalanche Comp 29 from 2018. It has a tapered frame. I would like to upgrade the Suntour forks to RockShox. My current Suntour forks are straight. My question is can I replace my straight Suntour forks with Tapered RockShox forks on my bike that has a tapered frame and if so what do I require to do this?
southstar My current forks are straight and the frame is tapered.
thanx its helped a lot for my friend😊👍subscribed 😊😊
I have a question that i would really want answered. My bike's front oil suspension was recently changed and one day while i was doing wheelies my bike's suspension maxed and from then when i try to do a manual or a bunny hop or whenever i try to lift my front wheel it makes a loud noise. I searched it on both Google and TH-cam but i didn't find anything. If you know how can i solve this problem i would really appreciate it
Learning is very easy with ur instructions. Thanks.
I dont have any bolts on my Suspension? Can i remove it?
IT is very helpful for me because I’m a new biker and I’m reapering old bikes
mantap gan tutorial videonya.. besok langsung dicoba, di fork suntour xcr ane.. 😁
Excellent work bro.
If someone needed to replace the rubber boots or the internal rubber insulater's/bumpers where to buy these? Good video by the way!
Nice one idol 👍🚴♂️🚴♂️💕
what do i need to use to lubricate the suspension?
it will seize up
Thanks Bro Very Helpful,,,,Saved My $$$
U didnt grease any of the internal parts?,would help prevent rust as well as lubricate too.
WD40 is a water repellent so it helps prevent rust but a good lube is a must :)
you forgot to grease the coil side that will make the most difference
what do you recommend for the grease fork or wd40
Help! the bolts on the bottom and the thing on the top of the suspension thing are both stuck on like super glue. I need help!
any tips?
TrucksMayPerish WOT Try to use a spray that penetrantes de bolts and hammer a little bit
@@Jap_masters are you dyslexic
Is that also work for suntour XCT??
Love the old school GT and Giant bikes😍👍
I have a Walmart bike and it Front suspension don't even move like I jumped off a big hill with it and I fell off my bike because it didn't even balance I watch this video and I can't take my whole bike apart just to fix that is there any other way and I only have my bike from like a month and I didn't ride in the mud
bunker miller when I started Riding I had a bike that had a suspension that doesnt sucks! The Only solution as to buy a new one!
bunker miller it's a bad bike it bottoms out easy
The Walmart's bikes are very bad
Buy a better bike 👍
Bhaia mera front suspebsion shocker mid sa 1 side bent hogayi please tell me that how ican strait that
Hi what year is this bike? Thanks
If you ride all the time is it necessary to replace it?Or you only do that when you haven't ride for a long time?
Yll mere front suspension band padh gya h kya kru yll oiling v kr de but😥 kuxx ni huva plzz rply
The bottom part won't come off. Do you have any suggestions?
Bokodi Máté unscrew the bolts on the bottom but not fully...leave them in the threads and give them a tap with a rubber hammer mallet...they should come loose
With my father's help and a lot of hammering we managed to get it off. It was really rusted but we cleaned it.
For some reason, it is really hard. The whole bike is shaking on hard terrain. The fork barelly moves. Tried to ease it but it doesn't seem to work.
tyre more grees, It can becomed bent after hamering or to glappy, time to new suspension
Is that an air fork or a coil? Bcs if it’s a coil i could save some money
Is this for clapped suspensions?
i have a 2016 Voodoo Hoodoo and my suspension cant move at all. Someone please help me or tell me what to check
SmokeyM - your suspension settings are to tight.
how do i loosen it?
I have arbi shox will it work on it??
Don't bother
what is the recorder on the shock edzover how to use that????
What is the size of the seal of xcr suntour..... Thank youuuuu
i see "GRATIS" on U'r WD40 , it's Indonesia language.... where do you buy it ?
gempil ugal agil "Grátis" is portuguese and it means "Free" in this case 60ml + for free. I live in Portugal so I bought it here
wow.... in our language it have same meaning, gratis = free . i never know it before >.< ,
gempil ugal agil ahahah that's cool mate!
Gratis means 'free' in Swedish aswell! ;D
And in Romania too
did you only used WD 40 inside of the suspension??
Does it work with Huffy Rock Creek Kolo bikes too?
My Btwin suspension Won’t turn Its Very Very Hard To turn It Any Suggestions On what I should do?
Thank you, very helpful video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
TheTorkerman-Adam Thanks mate!
Riders PT just did this on my sons Suntour XcR, worked great, i mean they are pretty shit forks that have loads of play in the bushings, but at least he can ride now while we save for new forks, thanks again.
Is it possible to remove shockers on my bike, and if so, will it break my bike if i remove the shockers? And if it doesn't break the bike, how can i exactly remove the shockers?
thx ..it worked...no longer seized !...... BTW...dont you need to clean the air spring too?
Those forks aren’t air
So all all it takes is opening and cleaning to make it work. You don't need to put any oil in there?
you should use some sort of silicone based grease to lube the fork lowers , and sometimes the seals need to be replaced to stop water from getting in the fork and cause rust
good vid but what if you have a cheap RADcamo mtb i tried to take the tops off the forks and a bit of plastic broke off
Sir mera aage wala soccer aawaz krta hai oil bhi dale phir bhi plz reply
Thanks very much, well done.
Where do you need to put the Greece
I_ti Multumesc Foarte Mult pentru Acest Vidio.Rezolvat probleba Datorita Tie.
How bout suspension forks that does not push up again (no more hydraulic pressure)? change the whole suspension fork?
Bjai ap ya wala front shock absober kaha leya mare ko bata sakta hai kya mare ko bhe lana hai
bro i bought a new bicycle today and its front suspension is not working its stuck is it the same problem that you described in the video
it might be locked out, try one of the adjustments on top of it.
would a silicone grease be more ideal?
At this point I would replace the fork 😂. So much trouble for a fork that will at some point need replacing. But besides that it's a great video. Keep up the good work
We have to remove power brake also?
3:13 There was interference. How did you loose it?
Sir which spray you have used
Mine fork squeaks does it help if I do this
Con lo que limpio es una desegrasante?
Y no le echa grasa?
.RST po vah yong fork mo master?
This is very helpful thanks for uploading ❤❤
I have a release screw on the bottom of my forks on your video can you still undo the forks I have got allen key nut on the in the valve to let air out on can you still do the forks how you showed on your video pls can you please get back to me asap pls because it's doing my head in there not working properly
Can you wash the interior and let it dry though?
yes but dont use chemicals on the seals it can cause cracks and in turn leaks also it hurts if they fail
@@jamielg5271 oh ok
Hey bro i have a broken preload cap how can i replace it ??
