What PSI are the forks at?

[ghotioutofh2o]

@byersm66 Atmospheric pressure. Just hold the schrader valves open until they don't hiss anymore.

In the vid, you install the collar wrong-way up. The collar should be installed flat side up with the retaining ring fitting into the groove/shoulder cut into the flat side's ID.

What's your reference source?

According to the Clymer manual (M474: 1987 - 2003, ISBN 0-89287-852-5), Figure 40 on page 261, Figure 49 with step 6d on page 263 ("The open side if the collar must fully seat against the stop ring on the valve"), and Figure 53 on page 264, I did it right.

A great video tutorial - the forks are one aspect of maintenance that I dread. Your video really helps put it all in layman's terms. Thanks for the effort.

No problem; that's the exact reason I made the KLR series.

This could be a great help for me to change the fork seals on my klx (supose, they should have more or less the same forks). Just need to bring the laptop in my garage :)

And If you can't get quite the right size take a slightly smaller size and cut down the side to allow it to expand.
