Reply To: Front Fork disassembly Aquila GV650
I have found that this video by ‘Delboy’s Garage’: (14) Delboy’s Garage, USD Fork Seal Replacement – YouTube (Delboy’s Garage, USD Fork Seal Replacement) was very helpful. It is clear that the manual is either just plan wrong, or was written for a different version (although mine is an earlier carburettor model). I have followed the method used by ‘Delboy’ and it has worked. You do not need the special tool mentioned in the manual (09913-50121) as the seal comes out when you separate the two tubes by ‘clonking’ them apart, but you do need a special driver tool to seat the bush and new seal on assembly: Adjustable 39mm-50mm Oil Seals Install Tool Motorcycle Fork Seal Driver Tool | eBay (ebay item no.364565521173). That tool was cheap enough, and I have ordered the correct oil. Although this would be a very niche audience to play to, as the manual is misleading I am making a video which I will publish on YouTube for the guidance of other members and I will rewrite the chapter with the correct method. Please check back here in a week or so.
