HI can you tell me where can I find a video to replace the oil in the front shocks.

Thanks

@freekshigh No idea other than a general search on here.

A fork is a fork though regardless of the make and model, do a search for changing fork seals and that should get you the idea.

If there are cross headed screws at the bottom near the hub nut they're drain screws, open them and pump the forks to drain the oil, to refill you need to take the cap bolts off the top of the forks, if theres no drain screw, take the cap bolt off, remove the fork form the stanchion and upend and pump.

btw it has to be a light scraping on the feeler gauge

@stephen1993wooster See parts 2 and 3 of the video, all this is explained, thanks

this is great info, I just wish the angle was more from the above and your hands weren't in the way 85% of the time. Thanks for posting, though!

@b3hr057 That's a downside with not having a cameraman to adjust while I move around the frame, something i'll bear in mind for future videos like this though, thanks

@aleramone23 Please see parts 2 and 3 of my valve clearance videos, I explain all of the above, hence the title of VC 1 etc.

DO NOT put a screwdriver or anything else through the spark plug hole, if this must be done, a smooth round bar such as a pushrod is OK on a 2 stroke or 4 stroke where the plug hole is in the middle of the head, if off centre, DON'T unless you fancy stripping to repair the potential damage, you can feel compression by putting your thumb or finger over the plug hole.

[aleramone23]

remember!!!! you always have to put the engine in T position, this is the upper piston position, you can check it by putting a screwdriver throuhg the sparkplug hole , the "T" is wievable throug a hole in the carter and you set it by turning clockward the "volante" (i dont know the name in english), valve clearance can be check only in this position an always always with the cold engine, (not warm or almost cold, COLD)
