Suzuki Intruder VS1400: Fork Seal Replacement 1/2 – Rebuild Part 10

How to change the fork seals on a Suzuki VS1400 Intruder – Part 1 of 2.
Learn the process of disassembling, inspecting and rebuilding the front forks on your Suzuki VS1400 Intruder.
Using simple tools, we can tear down the forks, but there is one tool that I would highly recommend that you purchase, and that is a seal driver.
A fork seal driver is designed to make installing new fork seals a simple and easy process. Fork seals on any motorcycle need to be seated correctly otherwise you will end up with leaking front forks on your intruder shortly after you re-install them.
Ensuring that the dust caps are seated correctly is also a key factor in changing the fork seals, if you have not ordered a fork seal kit, I highly recommend that you click the link below and get yourself a set.

You need a total of 354ml of fork oil in each fork with stock jugs.

This is the biggest project I have taken on, The bike will be completely stripped down to the frame, the engine will be removed for new piston rings to be installed, the wiring harness is going to be rewired and the entire bike overhauled, ready for spring 2020….I hope.
