Hi Tom, Terrific & best video on fork seal replacement! I'm going to do the same on my 2005 KTM 525 EXC - Thanks again Tom!

This is the best video on fork seal replacement I've seen, thanks man! I am doing mine at the weekend. Exact same forks but on a 1996 KTM 250 EXC. Cheers

[nwhuckin]

Your detail is out of this world, thank you for the informational video!

[mcjustlikenew]

Thank you for the advice and also thank you for not using your platform to just talk used enough information to make it not confusing some people like to talk to you much and it just makes it too much information kind a like this message

You make it look so easy.. my lower fork seal could not be seated after one hour and many attempts.. off to the dealer..

Great video I'm going back to mine tommorow as off work I'm thinking cut my old fork seal first then pop it back on to shove new one down hopefully it works

[daddydutchbbq]

Great video it helped me do my 2009 ktm 200 xcw thanks

[wisecampmotorcycles]

Great video Tom, I need to do the seals on my 2000 model 300exc, I'm guessing the procedure is the same. I've done many old regular forks, but never upside down ones. I'm confident now after watching your video. Cheers.

Helpful vid have to do my seals and just dont want to screw it up and end up having to bring it to somebody to fix it

[randywolfe]

Thanks for the video. I think I will attempt it. I can have it done for $350. I can save $250 maybe if I do it myself.

Sweet video!! Going to be replacing my 04 EXC 200's Seal's in a couple days, this ought do the trick,
one question how much Fork oil did you end up using? the Manual doesn't specify just the weight. Seen another video on "air gaping" with WP forks. I just don't want to put to much or too little oil. Thank's for the super helpful video!

[federpmatc]

Awesome video! Thanks. Is there any need to back out the adjusters on the top of the forks, before loosening or removing the top caps?

Hi, Tom, thanks for sharing! I have 2 questions. That spacer between the seal and first bushing, was it flat or angled? Mine is angled (both forks) but it popped out and I'm unsure of the orientation. Second, is your lower bushing 'free-floating' on that section of shaft? Mine has no slider, and yours is the first vide I've seen that looks about the same (2006 250 xc, supposedly stock fork). Thanks again!

Hey man I was wondering where you can find what oil to use, and oil level and such? I have a 125 exc 2005 and its not in the manual, any ideas?

[beretioliver]

Hi! I have a 2002 exc 200! Same sticker set. Is this a 43 or the 48 wp fork?

[Leftbanger]

No one ever mentions the rubber and the spring at the bottom of the damper..when I pulled my spare forks apart for a practice, that bit fell out with the damper, but no vid I've seen shows that?? Why not??

[tmlandscaping]

My fork seal has a bleeder for the air. But the cap is almost the same any idea how to do it then?
