Thanks for the video, @18:39 you drop that piece in, then @18:48 the other piece, how do you line these 2 piece up so you can get the bottom bolt back in ?
Honestly, it has been a year since I put this together. The bottom pieces went together easy on the first one, but I had to dump it back out and try again until it fell into place. No special tools, just some patience.
Thanks for the video, really great work. May I ask how did you support the f650gs before you dismount the front wheel? Is the motorcycle standing only on his central foot? If not would you mind to share your patent for supporting the motorcycle for this maintenance work?
Hello -I'm just in the middle of this procedure and I ratchet-strapped a plastic milk crate underneath the bike, tight to the skid plate. It is very sturdy and will not fall over with the front forks removed. Cheers.
My mechanic does the change of retainer rings, but is leaking the same. I think is ONLY Change to a thicker oil. Now i Will Change at home, and tour vídeo help a lot. Thanks
Bro, first of all thanks a million for sharing this video! Much appreciated. Secondly, shamelessly ask people to subscribe to your channel. Only way to grow a larger audience. I'm getting this bike tomorrow but it does not shift into 1st gear. I suspect its to do with the torsion spring. Any suggestions and advise appreciated. Cheers!
This is a ridiculous, idiotic surefire way to F*** up your stanchions and the recess where the dust seal resides. Notwithstanding that the commentary mostly consists of sighs and grunts with little clear explanation of what is being done at what stage. There are slightly better vids on how to do this properly, albeit by extending the shock and separating the stanchion from the housing.
One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen with practical installation hacks for normal people.
Great work, great video! Thanks for sharing!
Hard working man and a silly kid! 💜
Why do the full tear down when you only have to pull the bottom of the forks off ?

Awesome work! Let me know if you want some help filming! I’d love to help out.
What year is your gs mate
When did you add the spacer that goes on the right side of the wheel?
Right before I installed the through bolt for the wheel.
