Yamaha went to that annoying plug held in by a clip on some of the later models...

They went to a "oil level" spec with fork vertical, completely compressed, and spring removed... so I guess they figure y'all can just dump the oil out if it's off the bike?

Parts should be available and they are rebuildable... If you PM me your electronic mail I tin try to send you lot a copy of the fork rebuild part of a manual with that blazon fork (XT225).

I have to acknowledge that 2 people ( one pushing the cap downwardly far plenty, so you can become to the jump prune and another person trying to get that darn clippy off. ) won't work and way too crowded to maneuver . The fork spring tension kills all that right in that location.

Sooo... A TOOL ! Build one !
What practice I accept to do this? Radiator hose, hose clamps, a small shelf bracket and a screw with a nut. Don't need my wife'due south toothbrush on this
Gotta exist ugly however functional . OK..Did both !

These fork caps are seriously silly.

Now for the ugly tool. Makes information technology a one hander to have the snap ring off. Not iv hands.
Piece of cake at present.

Going back to the age of 19 hither.
350 LC had this method of removing the fork internals.My uncle was " helping" me remove the cap on an evening .Forks in the bike .He depressed the cap whilst i removed the clip . Like shooting fish in a barrel eh? He was equally much utilise as a chocolate fire guard. He promptly removed his
hold on the cap and " BOING" the jump pressure fired the cap right into the centre of my forehead.
Everybody ripped the piss out of me the day after every bit i had a wee cutting and cap shape "postage stamp" correct between the eyes.
So your tool is more use than my uncle.

Great story !
waiting on Scott to pop by so I tin can start the disassembly process. I need extra set of Eyes only in case information technology does get flying!
Also accept my all-time ready of grubby wearing apparel on for oil flying too. Nice mean solar day for forks and bicycle piece of work, Shorts and Tee shirt atmospheric condition. 75 degrees and sunny.A breeze puts my neighborhood in the Red Flag Warning zone. ( I'm really getting tired of the fires ! )

Thanks all !
The forks are very easy and re-build- able .
the service manual says to use 10 wt fork oil. the bike owner got some pretty ambitious tires and tubes, leading me to believe that she is a good rider. I will call her to find out for certain. May desire to stiffen the shocks up to 15 wt.
10 wt seems too wimpy.
Any thoughts?

OH NO! Not some other oil thread! :ROFLOL

Trouble with suspension oil weights is in that location really isn't a "standard"... one manufacturers 5w can be "thicker" and provide more damping than another manufacturers 10w.

Google "Peter Verdone Designs break oil"... I think I got that right... He's done a lot of real life testing and has listed many oils by brand and name with numbers y'all can use to compare.

P.Due south. I similar Torco suspension oils... they have a high viscosity index which means the viscosity is more stable at different temps so they won't "fade" equally bad every bit some of the other brands.
