Love me some Dwight Yoakam! Excellent song choice! Air Gap/Fork oil level - You mention you leave 120mm gap instead of the Honda spec'd 110mm gap. I know that gives 10mm more of fork travel but it also leaves you 10mm closer to bottoming out the forks. Was that a typo or a secret? What fork oil did you use? SS-8? Motul? For those watching this video to do this yourself there is one critical procedure that a lot of people misunderstand. The "measured" quantity of fork oil is NOT how you set the fork oil level. It's just a rough guide as you will not be dealing with a completely dry fork. There will still be some oil left. What you are actually doing is setting up the fork oil level to provide the correct air gap. Look at your Honda service manual (Pg 14-25). It shows an air gap. You are measuring the air gap. Not the fork oil. TIP (Courtesy of Roger Bates (RIP)) - Make yourself a piece of tubing slightly longer than 110mm. Measure from the bottom of the tube up 110mm and put a permanent mark. Attach a hose to the tube and then to your vacuum brake bleeder. Slightly overfill the forks. Pump and bleed. Insert your tube into the fork tube and place your mark at the top of your fork tube. Suck out all of the extra fork fluid. What you leave is the perfect air gap measured at 110mm.
All You need the seal driver for these particular Honda Forks most other manufacturers you do need a couple special tools to hold the cartridge and bleed the system. Definitely try to find a factory service manual they will have exactly what tools will be needed.

I’m glad I got a Honda, so many tutorial videos
Good video, I am looking to do the job on my 13 cbr500r, looks to be the same process!

good video, but what did you about the damper and rebound screws before disassembly ?
Hi rise bars look like a good way to get more out of the RR
Heyy
How did you get the lower forks soo clean went from black to silver? I've got front wheel off my 04 cbr600rr at the moment too
Kerosene in a spray bottle
Hi where did you mangae to position the jack on the front without taking everyrhing off
Cancel last question, I see it was answered down in the comments
I’ll turn this vid on just for the music lmao
I’m told you need a special/certain tool for the street bike fork seal replacement?

Nice! Thanks
Where did you place the jack? Is it on the oil pan? Headers?
On the header, there is a nice spot where they all come together.
Nice video! How much fork oil did you happen to use?
Start with 0.5 liter than bleed and take some out until 120 mm airgap. One bottle will do both forks.
So 0,5l for both forks?
0.55 家=house
