This video was great. I just received new springs but wasn't sure about the preload washers. Now I know!

Excellent instructional video - nice work & presented well. Thanks for posting !

Good video, Might want to add that these are KYB but other Japanese bikes use Showa too. The reason I say this is because the cap tool changes

[markalan]

Awesome! Thanks for the helpful information.

[nickspatoulas]

Awesome video! Thank you. Saved me $$$

Great video! Clear, precise and easy to understand! One question, can you put different spring rate springs to achieve an overall spring rate?

[johnwiggins]

Do you account for residual fork oil that is still clinging on inside? Like, 20ml might still be inside so when adding back the oil is this something to consider?

Can I ask why you back the clickers right off? what purpose does it serve? does it cause any problems if you don't?

Is it cool to use amsoil 5w shock therapy in a yz 250 KYB SSS forks? If not whats another good oil? And do i need to change the damping cylinder oil too?

[mxcollin]

Great video!!! 👍

Would it be ok to add a few extra washers to get a little more initial for hold-up?

[robertnevinson]

What size fork cap tool for this rmz?
Thanks

Do you always put those preload washers down in the fork I have a 2012 crf250 do those preload wagers go on the fork cup thing not down in the fork..

We bought a used rmz250 set up for a 150lb rider. My kid is 110lb. Can I just change the spring to achieve his riding weight?

[coreymerriam]

Thank you so much! My 2019 Rmz250 fork is so stiff! How I decide what spring rate to use?

I need about 6 mm more of Sag with my Tenere, is there a Spring size down from the oem to get me there?

[spebizf]

Where did you get that measuring cup????
