  • Had a fork seal blow on this 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200. So I removed and replaced the oil seal, and installed fresh fork oil in the process. This is one of the more complicated sets of forks you can work on. Cruiser bikes are more straight forward usually. I hope you find the video useful and informative. This one was hard to film and work at the same time.
    As always any questions leave them in the comments.
    Thanks for watching!

    Can you hear the sound of a small spring when the suspension is in operation? I have this on my Tiger and I'm not sure if it's normal.

    After looking this video I am glad I had my 2012 Explorer front fork seals renewed by a dealer. It cost 220€ including everything.

      Cost me $35 USD in parts and oil to do it myself. Its a time consuming and long process though I’ll give you that.

    Thanks for this video!
    But you did not pump the rod up and down for a minute or two to let out the air?
    You'd better poor in the oil before putting in the spring and then pump till all the air has come out I guess.

      Just because it wasn’t filmed doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It was pumped till it stiffened up.

    I did this replacement without dissembling the main spring from the upper tap.
    Does that represent a problem?

      There's always multiple ways to do any job, if it is functioning correct, I wouldn't worry about it!

    Question for the O/P, was it even necessary to remove the piston cartridge from the stanchion for a simple oil/dust seal change??? It wasn't for my kids dirtbike, at all, and I could have killed the dude I watched do so on here...LOL!

  • @andeyeroooo
    @andeyeroooo 2 роки тому +1

    Surely if you're only doing the seals and bushings ( the bits you called c clips ) you don't need to separate the damper rod assembly, only remove it
