Gasket

To replace this gasket washer on both front fork legs little bit difficult.It's a good time to replace this gasket while your at servicing your bike front forks..I'm working on my 1987 TW200 so I can do it anbody should be able to do it.First need to removed the both front fork from the bike.Next, raise the cap end of the fork slightly and remove the cap.Reach into the fork and remove the spacer, washer, and spring. You may have to collapse the fork slightly to be able to reach the spring. Pull the spring out slowly so you don't pull a bunch of oil out with it.Pour the oil out & Cycle the fork once or twice to help get the residual oil out.To reach to that gasket washer will need to remove the bolt at the bottom to separate the two parts of the fork.To do that you will need a tool to reach into the fork and hold the damper rod inside.I used a 19mm coupling nut.It's just a nut that is about 1 1/2 " long.The coupling nut fits in a 19mm socket and sticks out far enough to engage the damper rod.Put a piece of paper towel over the end of the socket, then push the coupling nut into the socket. This will prevent it from falling out.I need to add some extensions to the socket to be able to reach the head of the damper rod inside.Also need 8mm allen key to hold the bolt at the bottom, and with a ratchet on my home-made tool loosen the damper rod inside while holding 8mm allen key.With the damper rod loose, you can simply pull the two halves of the fork apart and bottom bolt will easily come out.Pull the spacer from the end of the damper rod, then invert the top half of the fork and shake it around a little bit to get the damper rod to come out.Now I can replaced with the new OEM gasket WASHER.after cleaning the parts it's time to assemble the fork.With the upper fork tube inverted, carefully push the damper rod and rebound spring into the upper fork tube until the piston ring is inside, then use my19mm coupling nut tool to push the damper rod to the bottom of the fork tube. to help guide the end of the damper rod out the bottom of the tube.Install the damper rod spacer then carefully slide the upper fork tube into the lower fork.Keep the fork horizontal so the damper rod spacer will not fall off before it's seated at the bottom.Insert 19mm coupling nut tool into the fork upper tube until it engages with the damper rod.Insert the lower bolt into a new oem copper washer then apply some blue Loctite the threads of the bolt . Place the bolt into the bottom of the fork, and twist until it engages the threads on the damper rod.Using a 8mm allen key and my coupling nut tool twist the damper rod and bolt together until snug, then torque to 22 foot pounds.That's how I completly replaced the front fork leg gasket washer.yeah took some times to replaced it but well worth the effort and no more oil leaks from the bottom of the fork.The parts ordered from the webike shop and very easy find parts through their website.After placed a order from webike shop they quickly dispatch the package from Japan & reached in Sri Lanka within three or four days.Excellent packing & service.
