I did that when I was about 14 , before the internet, I had to rebuild some Kawasaki forks for my KMX 200 , I needed to make a tool , a bolt one a long bar so I could split the and fix them , was around 2000 , I used PJ1 fork oil and new seals , it was surprisingly easy, the insides were different to that for some reason
Sliding the oil seal on without covering up the sharp edges of where the bushing sits can easily damage the seal. Electrical tape or a plastic bag is all it takes. A cheap oil seal driver is a PVC pipe from your local hardware store. I'd also consider OEM grade parts, All Balls or Pivot Works isn't really the best quality.
From the parts fiche they look similar but there are no bushings shown. Allballs has a kit specifically for the seals on the KX60: www.allballsracing.com/56-106.html
Thanks great video now i understand how to measure oil level
Man you made that look easy, I like that tape trick,Thx
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.. Great video! You made this look too easy..
Thanks, it was surprisingly easy compared to more modern forks haha

Cheers pal great video, even I can follow it.😊
Thanks, glad it was useful!
Just did my kx65 forks, FYI, 1.25" I.D. sch 40 pvc pipe is the PERFECT size for a seal driver. Home depot even sells then in 2 ft lengths
Super helpful thank you
Twisting the screwdriver makes it more easier to get the dust seal off.
Is that a spacer you put in the forks to stiffen the springs?
Lol asked this before you got to it. Should have listened to the teachers in school
Is this the same process for a year 2000 kx65 forks? Mine don’t have the adjustment on top and are shorter

Question will this be the same process for kx60 forks? And can I use the same seal kit you provided?

On Amazon it shows that the kit won’t fit on the kx65, is the link correct? Just to make sure
Yeah, Amazon is wrong, I picked up the set for my 2005. I checked Pivot Works' site and the part number is PWFFK-K19-000
@@GarageAddiction thank you for replying
How much oil is required to fill two forks to the level that you recommend (how many liters should I buy)?
1 Liter will do ya, I think it's roughly 250ml per fork
