give them a service manual to your bike and they could easily help you or do it for you. It really is simple. Unbolt from clamps and remove wheel. Back out suspension compression and rebound 'clickers' counting and making note of how many clicks it turns before it stops (This opens up all the oil passages internally). then its like remove fork cap (just have to have a bench vice and add something in it like 2x4;s or use a rubber one cause you dont want to marr the surfaces of the forks and a big wrench), slide out the guts of it, its a couple simple hollow tubes and a spring usually, literally like 3 things. drain the oil by turning the assembly upside down and to change the seals you literally yank the innner and outer tube in opposite directions until the seperate (after removing a snap ring located beneath the dust seal whcih is the first seal you see on the shock.) Refill with apporopriate amount of shock oil, reassemble making sure to keep things as clean as humanly possibly, dirt is VERY bad in shocks. Ive done it a total of 3 times to my dirtbikes and have gotten to where it takes about a total of half a day taking my time and smoking lots of cigarrettes and drinking lots of beer.

I actually need to do my motards one day, it's leaking a little bit oil. too many staircases and its just old. i think ill photo document the process and post it.


EDIT: bong! YouTube - Motorcycle Fork Seals and Fork Oil Replacement There ya go, and for the price of paying someone to do it you could go get some nice motorcycle stands

 

take it from a pro, suspension work is a fairly simple process. every Joe blow can become a master just by reading a magazine.

dude, do you eve ride? the suspension work makes a night and day difference when its set right, its a science that not everyone understands. if you do, you are s special breed. plus to do the work it requires special tools. but let me guess, you will just use a screw driver, hammer and some duct tape.

 

lmao, did you even read the article or watch the youtube video? I somehow doubt it by your response...try again Suspension IS a very technological advanced system, however, so is an engine, but for some reason people have no problem draining oil from their engines And i also agree proper suspension setup is the most performance enhancing thing you can do to your bike w/o spending money, why not take the time to learn how to set it up or how it works?

 

shit actually looks pretty simple
