How do i change my compression if there is no compression screw at the top?
Is this the same process for the 2014 kx450f air fork?
Thanks !
.You will need a fork spring compressor tool to do the job right. They have
them on Ebay here

thanks so much.
You are one of the best mechanics if not THE best, thanks for all your
videos!! you sure helped me with all the detailed information.
keep the good work!
well done well explained thanks
Can a video like this get better !? I don´t Think so. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
But what I DON´T UNDERSTAND is that, at this moment 29 people DON´T like
this video. What kind of people are you ? Bet jerks.
look
Hey man, thanks for the video, great job of explaining the process. I have
two leaking fork seals and this is what i needed to prepare me for whats to
come
Best is to loosen the fork cap before you take the forks out the
triple-clamp. If your space is limited underneath the handlebars, take them
off. Much easier. Those caps can be very tight sometimes.
Thanks for the video! I have a question though, I followed all steps, and
when I’m done and have the fork in one piece again, I clearly hear the oil
running inside the fork when turning it upside down… Did I do something
wrong? I did not open and change the oil in the upper chamber @ 14:30 in.
So, the oil in the outer tube is full of air, why?
Hello I have a 2006 hayabusa what all do I need to do mine?
Great video
Great video, I have just one question. Is there a rule of thumb for the
amount of oil you have to put in the forks?. I have a 1997 Honda Nx 350 and
I am not sure the amount of oil to put in. Thank you for your help.
Professional jobbb…u r the man…
hi, i’m tryng to replace seals on my suzuki rm 125 2008… i have showa
forks.
i did everything u said, now i have to separate fork tubes. but they wont
come out.
i heated with a heat gun (an electric one) but nothing, they remain
togheter.
i alredy removed dust seal and the metal ring.
what can i do for separate fork tubes?
Thank you much!
How much would it cost to have it done for ya
You need to do one for a rear shock now
Excellent video – thank you. I would have struggled big time otherwise! One
question: YZ250 has cupped backup washer behind seal. Which way up should
it go? Lip to the top or bottom?
Thank you! I have the service manual but your video was much more helpful!
