    Thanks for this great video, change the fork seal on my M109R2, I had the owner manual and had to check your video just to make sure... I bought all the tools you show at the beginning of this video and everything went smooth and without any surprise down the way, we'll maybe a small surprise 1 bolt on the fender was eaten had to use the drill and a bolt remover bit other than that, I've just followed your tips and wow what a difference it makes on the road... the only thing that I can add to this great video is with the M109R2 you don't have to remove the headlight assembly at all... Once again thanks big time to you to take the time and help others diy 😉👍

    Hello, I might have gotten myself into a pickle. I am attempting to change the fork seals on my 2008 M109 but no matter what I do I can’t get the forks out. My forks on the 2008 “seem” to be a little different from yours, in that, there seems to be two chrome pipes over the forks/shocks that reside “outside” the fork clamps. I have loosened all pinch bolts at all points until they are about falling out. I have loosened the fork cap until it’s near being off. I have used a rubber mallet to tap the top of the fork cap. Is there anything I am missing? Matt - Texas

    Great video. I am going to use your vid to do my 109 next weekend. My question is, and I am sure you’ve been ask this many times before, is about the damper rod holding tool. The one I ordered looked exactly like yours but some have said they had to cut the end off the tool to make it work. The problem is that the inside of the tool is too shallow to allow the rod to thread in there because since the threads on the damper rod don’t begin at the end, the damper rod bottoms out before the threads meet. One guy said he had to cut the tool to make it work. Nested treads issue. Bottom line which tool did you buy that will work unmodified? Thank you. mdg

    Very nice and clear to understand. Thanx. I have a 2017 M90 with upside down forks. Hoping they are the same. From the exterior they look the same except the outer top tube is black on mine M90. The length and diameter may also be different plus spring weight rating as the 109 is a heavier bike. But like on the M109 the fork has no adjustments so this indicates the are basically the same internal design. I will stand the fork up and using something from above hold the spring up above the oil in the fork assembly for approximately 30 minutes and let the oil drain off the spring back into the fork. Then remove the spring completely and measure the oil height. Record this. Then drain the oil out of the fork. During assembly I will set the oil level to what it had originally with the spring removed based on mm depth.

      I think you're asking about what weight fork oil to use. The Harley stuff I used is ~ 20w..I'm a heavy guy at ~300lbs so I went with the thicker oil. If your more average weight you could easily go with the Motul 10 or 15w Fork oil

    • @projectaurora3496
      @projectaurora3496 3 роки тому

      You wouldn't really be able too, you need to slide the spring and spacer over the dampening rod, and once you do, there's no way to grab the rod to hold it up while you then slide the flat tool in between the lock nut and the spacer to facilitate securing the cap. The first time we did this, we didn't have that tool, so we made our own out of about 12" of m10x1 all-thread and a couple of nuts welded together to create something to secure to the dampening rod. Cost of materials to make the tool was about the same as the cost of the tool...

    • @projectaurora3496
      @projectaurora3496 3 роки тому

      Absolutely. They are +2" risers, and one if the first mods I did after I got the bike (some mods were already done, I bought the bike used 3 years ago). It was fairly stock, it had the Velocity Pro exhaust, Cobra Fuel tuner, Servo eliminator, and a Cyclops headlight if I recall correctly. I've done quite a bit to her since then. She was stock height, with stock seat and risers when I got her. I'm about 5' 10" with a 29" inseam. I found the stock seat to be almost as comfortable as cement and would make my ass numb, and the stock risers just far enough forward to tweak my back after about 45 minutes. I added the risers, got an Ultimate seat, and for good measure dropped her 1.5". Those 3 mods made all the difference in the world. Now I can ride her comfortably all day.

Last thing I want is to purchase them and find out they are less rise and pullback as what I have. Would you happen to remember where they were purchased?
