HOW TO Rebuild MOTORCYCLE FORKS | Yamaha Fazer | In Depth Fork Rebuild

In today's video I rebuild the forks for the 2007 Yamaha Fazer S2 I used to own. These are standard, non upside down forks and this method applies to all forks of this type. They're basically all the same!! This is an in depth(as best as I could do) including removing the forks, debuilding and rebuilding them.

If you'd like to watch a different style of fork rebuild video(less in depth) here's one I've done previously on my Supermagna: Motorcycle Fork Rebuild | Honda Supermagna...

So if you've seen both what type of workshop video do you prefer? This more in depth style or the last fork rebuild I did which was more a voiceover? Ooooor should I just give up videos entirely as Youtube seems to want :D

I doubt I’ll ever do my own forks. I should. I want heavier springs but I’m too lazy. You are a god among men.

Stroke that leg! Jaysus, that oil looked sick! Water get in? I love technical videos like this. Appeals to the nerd in me. Great way to pick up tips, like your seal trick. Nice to see the Fazer again, even if not on the road. Keep up the good work!

It sure quite the task mate. I know that I’ll have to replace the fork fluid in my cruiser.

Is debuilding a real word? 🤪 I usually run #1000 paper over the stanchions too. Guess that's not always needed, but I usually do it anyway. Nice guide!

Is that a GK76 GSXR400 🤭 Doing a rebuild on mine at the moment. Was your seal driver expensive, I still fear doing fork seals 😂 Well done Mike👍🏼

Good video. Two small things.... You could have made a point of putting the fork seal in the right way up. I always put the forks back in the bike, just using the top yoke bolts, before filling just to be sure they are fully extended, and it also avoids the problem of getting the cap back on the top as you have something to push against without compressing the forks. I have only sold a bike a couple of times, normally I trade in. The FZR1000, and the Buell, and they were serviced very regularly, but I didn't do anything special for the sale. If I buy secondhand I would always do full servicing anyway. Keep them coming. The GSXR is calling....

Hi, Have you a link for the seal driver ?
Thanks 😊😊

Awesome how to mate, really well talked through.
It looked like you refitted it a little lower in the triple tree than before, was that intentional to raise the ride height, or was it something you adjusted off camera? :-)
