Thanks for your comment. When I was looking for a video on how to do it I could only find one or two that weren't great, so I decided to make a video myself. Good luck with your project. These forks are fairly easy to do so you shouldn't have any problems.
I used your video as a secondary reference. Excellent video by the way. My daughter's bike is a TTR125 LW, 2002 model. I just finished both front forks today. My process was almost the same, her bike is just a little bit different. Thanks!
It’s such a simple fork, it doesn’t even have real valves. In my opinion it’s not capable of fine tuning performance with air gap so I just put the recommended amount in. Setting air gap certainly wouldn’t hurt anything though.
Great video, my 2009 seals just started leaking. Just from watching I suppose you simply remove the rubber seal, empty the oil. Refill with fork oil and replace the new rubber seal.
Thanks for watching. The Yamaha part number is 5B6-23146-00-00. If you look up the fork schematic for a 2014 ttr125 on rockymountainatvmc.com it's part number 8 on the fork schematic chart. Hope that helps!
Any idea what size the top bolt about the triple clamp size is? Don’t have much wrenches but plenty of sockets, trying to not have to take the bars off
Looks like I have a couple of dust seals on my 2005 125LE protecting the clip pin and oil.seal. How do I remove without damaging? And what size is the hex socket head to remove damper rod? I need to go buy as I don't have one that size.
Almost all used dirt bikes need some work. It might not be a big deal if it's just the boot that needs replacing. If the fork tube got scratched or gouged by whatever ripped the boot then it could get expensive. I would try to look for signs of leaking fork oil and see if you can tell if the fork tube has any damage.
C Burger Thanks! We have a 3 part series coming from a trip to Highland Park back in July. The first one will post at 6:00 pm CDT tonight. Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the video ive got my own 2006 ttr 125 and I need to replace the seals on all my shocks lol but my dad wants me to go and get it fixed but I don't want to because well money I don't have the money for it but after watching this I think its gonna be a lot simpler than I thought the only problem is just the rear shock which is a whole other thing so I might just have to do the front myself then just take the rear one off and take that to get fixed and that would be a lot cheaper. but I'm at least gonna try and do it myself we will see how it goes though. Wish me luck! 😁
A 9/16" bolt head or nut fits perfect. Weld onto a long rod or if no welder, jam 2 nuts together on the end of a piece of 3/8" threaded rod, bend the other end to form a handle.
Great video to explain how to do this task with my son for his bike. Thank you for posting this!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I plan on attacking our 2002 TTr 125 L today. Thank you

@@DirtBikingwithDonnie i cant get my dampining rod to tighten back up got it apart but wont go back together and yes i doing everything right
TOMMY U Try using a broom handle or something wooden to put pressure on the dampening rod from above while tightening.
@@DirtBikingwithDonnie i tried using the spring and compressing the fork thats how i losened it

I’m glad it was helpful for you. Thanks for watching.
Thank you I learned a lot from this. Do you not have to set the air gap at the top?

Yep, it's a pretty simple fork setup.
Springs & Seals this weekend ☺ I got 07 LE & thinking of putting a 14" rim in the rear ?
Another great video. Looking at the schematic, I don't see the washer you used to help pound in the seal. Do you have the part number?
Thanks for watching. The Yamaha part number is 5B6-23146-00-00. If you look up the fork schematic for a 2014 ttr125 on rockymountainatvmc.com it's part number 8 on the fork schematic chart. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the quick response. So it appears the schematic is different for my daughter's 2005 TTR125LE. Do you know if that washer would still work?
Any idea what size the top bolt about the triple clamp size is? Don’t have much wrenches but plenty of sockets, trying to not have to take the bars off
You could torque everything just to be in perfect spec but other than that it's 💯
Great job! Would the same seals work for a 2008 TTRLW?
Looks like I have a couple of dust seals on my 2005 125LE protecting the clip pin and oil.seal. How do I remove without damaging? And what size is the hex socket head to remove damper rod? I need to go buy as I don't have one that size.
good day is the same process in Yamaha TTR 125L 2002 ?? I'd be very gratefull
I don’t know for certain but I think it will be the same or very similar.
What size is the bolt holding the damper rod?
6mm
Perfect insteuctional, thank you!
I’m planing on buying a dirt bike 2013 it has a rip fork boot should I buy ?

Have you done the linkage bearings on that bike and if so how did u do it??
Great content so far! Awesome, keep them coming.

To keep the damper rod from turning I used the handle of a plunger
Great tip!
I had to use a 14mm bolt double nutted on the end and an extension. Don't get your nuts stuck in the damper rod.
How did you do this?
Is there a video on how to do this. My bolt is stuck

will a xt 225 2007 be the same
It should be similar.
That was a really good video
Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the seals from?
Oxxyy Rockymountainatvmc.com
I can't believe the newer bikes don't have wiper seals. (Dust seal) that's just crazy!!!
Great video. Where did you get that awesome vice from?
Corey Arensdorf Thanks! I got it from Harbor Freight tools. You can usually find them at Lowe’s and Home Depot as well.
What's it called? What is the vice called?
What front tire do you use?
Dunlop MX3s or MX33
Great video! You are top notch sir! You explained and did the job perfectly! Thanks for your help🤙🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I can’t get the bolt out of the bottom of the 2 fork
Very informative. It would have been even better if you ended up with some classical music
Thanks for watching! I actually did use some Tchaikovsky music in a video a long time ago, lol.
try using a broom handle or a wood flag pole if you dont have the tool
Mason G great idea! Thanks for commenting!
@@DirtBikingwithDonnie thanks, i just tried it on my 1982 yz 125 it got the screw loose but the two pieces wont come apart

What are the torque specs for the triple clap bolts that hold the fork tubes in place?
Very helpful, thanks a bunch.
