KLR 650 Fork Service Part 1

[NAMTRIP]

Why not just break the caps loose before you remove the fork from the triple clamp?

[Maximonious]

OMG... I'll pay the $200 to get the seals replaced... AH!

[rashvinpillay]

well break is all fine. just wanna know why is it hard thats all. is it the oil seal?

[rashvinpillay]

hi i have a question would be great if u could help. im riding a xr200r 1990 model. I have an issue with my fork as its too hard. when i hit the break and force it down, it goes down a little. what could cause this and how can i fix it. Thanks.

@rashvinpillay Where is this break? Is it a break in the road like a pothole or is something broken on the fork somewhere?

[assman12354]

does anyone know how close this is to a 500 ninja fork? my fork doesn't seem to have any type of bolt or allen head at the bottom?

[ssrider7]

wanna be my mechanic?

[ghotioutofh2o]

I wasn't able to find a 24mm socket that fits into the tube. After removing the dust cover retaining clip, I was able to apply air pressure into the valve until the seal popped out.

[DecaPierce]

@WorldClimb yea the guy who made the vid really hasnt got any important tips, u did !

[NAMTRIP]

@DecaPierce There are no tips,its work,and your not going to find any short cuts,this is a dam good video,Your just looking for an easy way out,there is none,you must follow the steps,or let someone more mechanically inclined to do it for you. Great informative video.

[DecaPierce]

@NAMTRIP yes the rear axel bolt for removing dampner is a good tip , ive got one for you, suck my ballsss!!!

[NAMTRIP]

@DecaPierce SorryPunk,But I aint into the shit,but the bad news is you came out of the closet and announced your a Flamming Faggot On YouTube,by asking another person to suck your balls,How does it feel to be a full blown sissy ass jailhouse punk,It dont matter if your pitching,or catching,your still playing hardball, You Monkey Spank.

My dad has never change the fork oil on his klr650, what interval would you reccommend changing it as in the klr manual it says 12 months or 24,000km, the clymer manual is 30,000 and in the klx250s service manual it doesn't even mention having a change date for the fork oil only fork inspect(smooth stroke and dampness) every 12,000. thanks great vid

[ghotioutofh2o]

I'd go with the Clymer manual.

[saltifish]

what sort of stand r u using to support the bike?

[sreksuhn244]

I don't understand the extensions and the 24mm nut. Could you explain? I'm stuck there.

[ghotioutofh2o]

Yes, of course: if you look on the bottom of your fork, you'll see an allen head bolt. This threads into the fork damper, with the bottom of the outer fork tube pinched between them. The damper extends up about a foot (I didn't measure, so I can't give you an exact measurement) and at the top it resembles a 24 mm socket. If you try to undo the nut on the bottom, the damper will spin and not unthread. The extensions and nut keep the damper from spinning so you can remove the damper bolt.

Great Job Mr. J. I am fortunate that your KLR is just a bit more seasoned than mine as you do these videos in the sequence that I need them. Gonna do fork rebuild this winter, but I do have some vacation coming up and this video got me motivated. Thanks again for your help with swingarm and valves. I am running great these days. Kirk
