Seven years later and this is still the best video of a fork seal replacement I've found. You are an actual treasure to the biker community!

[thejohnnymiles]

I use how to vids all the time. This is one the BEST I've ever watched. Clear, concise, and thorough. Thank you!

This is literally the best video out on the internet for fork seal replacement, Great Job!

I have never ever left a comment on YouTube, but your solution for a seal driver was brilliant and saved my ass! Fork seals done and I can’t thank you enough.

Thanks so much for making these videos, honestly helps a bunch keeping my old motorcycles on the road instead of sitting in a garage rotting.

Superbly simple explanation which is easy to follow. No annoying music, no irritating contrived comments flashing up on the screen (as the Americans seem to love doing!)...just someone who clearly knows what he's talking about telling us in plain English how to do the job! Many thanks, Del - you've made the job so much easier! P.S. Very useful tips too.

Got to agree, this is far the best video, simple, easy, no gimmicks or stupid music and in a workshop just like most of us, no a surgical unit like on other clips. Keep it up Del.

Hi there from Australia, well i have to say you do have a gift, easy to listen to, no music.
By far the number one vid on here, great job mate.

This is my go-to channel when attempting home mechanics. Great stuff!

I replaced the seals on my '82 Suzuki gs1100e using a length of plastic pipe that fit precisely as a driver. I started replacing the seals on a friend's '89 750 katana. When I went to drive in the upper bushing I realized my pipe was too small in diameter to fit the newer bike's upper tubes. Your solution to this problem is both simple and elegant. I cannot wait to try it tomorrow as soon as the local Home Depot opens. Thanks for saving me a lot of time and anguish.

Thank you very much for this outstanding video. You are a gifted teacher who has easily taken the "fear" out of a "scary" job from many of us, at least from me. I must also compliment on your camera operator, she has a steady pulse, does not jerk the video and keeps focus on what she needs to focus on, the class. You make an excellent team. Thanks again.

I've been riding and wrenching on my bikes since the early 80's and this is the clearest and cleanest explanation of how to do fork seals I've seen! I too build my own tools so i LOVED that large allen wrench DIY tip (i use a giant welded nut on a bolt for my GSXR front axle removal tool).
I've always paid the pro's for suspension work, but I'm ready to take on a ZR750S in the garage now! Thank you! 👍

Hi Delboy,
You truly are the man!! Also great camera work by your wife/partner!!

Your videos, tips and guidance are so clear and professional, setting a great example for all tutorials.

My SV650s (1999) fork seal is leaking and I''ve just ordered the kit (Oil seals, Dust seals and Fork oil) off the net.

To be honest, I'm not looking forward to the job, but your video has have me more knowledge, confidence and DIY ideas than anything else I've read or watched.

Thanks a million bud for sharing your craftsmanship with all of us, and please please keep up the top quality work. Priceless!!

Cheers!

Thank you much, even ten years later still most valuable video for repairing bike forks, I follow your A to Z instructions at home.👍👍👍

I didn't expect to watch all 30 minutes of it but I did. Great video and very informative with all the steps broken down nicely. Thanks!

[nikkidobbs]

Delboy. Thank you for giving me the confidence to replace the forks seals and a set of bushes on my FJR1300. And I went on to replace a stanchion and seals on my GPZ900. Both sailed through the MOT's. It was at the cost of the materials and satisfaction that I had done it. (and knowing that it was done properly). Once again thank you.

[thecollegeprepschool]

You're awesome Delboy! You have a great talent for teaching. I have been thinking about working on my forks for years. Finally need to get up the courage to do it. I learned two great tips in only 5 minutes of your video.

[ivindlkset]

I guess this is the most useful video i have ever seen, regarding this subject. Thank you so much! *going out, replacing fork seals*

[jasonshortphd]

I have come back and watched this video every time I do fork seals. This is such a great video. Thank you

[davegillette]
