On a seal change, just put the required amount back in and run. Make sure to tape the sharp edges on installation. Replace the wiper also, if sold separately. I did not need any special tools to take a set of showa forks apart and back together. A good time to have the shock serviced also?
Yes I'm putting brand new oil in, not sure what's in the YZ forks from stock, is it 5 weight?whenfoxforks-ruled said:Except for the nitrogen. And on the forks, I was glad I changed the oil in the chambers also, it was nasty!
whenfoxforks-ruled said:And they are twin chambered? What model year? I do not believe there is THAT much difference between the 2 manufactures. Honda did seem to have a strangle hold on Showa, at 1 time? Same model year, their 125 has Kayaba, go figure?
you have the service manual right? i believe even the owner manual have the correct oil to use, at least the stock one. give it a look :cool:mike-evans said:Yes I'm putting brand new oil in, not sure what's in the YZ forks from stock, is it 5 weight?
