WP Fork Oil Replacement

First step is undo the front wheel, undo the triple clamps pull the forks and throw into Wheely bin, get some KYBs or Ohlins from late model donors and insert, problem solvered.

Nah seriously Moto get one of those adjustable grinder spanners with one fixed side and the other is hinged, should work from what I saw in the local KTM House of pain (dealer)

Like the lower tool.

i saw on ktm talk a way of doin it…. but i cant find it.

i remember looking at how to change fork seals

i think it said, put an allen key, tightest fitting one you can,in one of the holes..

then use a screwdriver against the allen key and the centre nut as a lever to turn it

know what i mean :huh:

it should work well in theory.

Cheers Menace, I had thought about jamming something in the hole :ohmy: but I could just as easily get some pipe wrenches on the outer piece of alloy and turn the cap out. Both ways will make a mess of my shiny bike

especially with your mechanical skills :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i’m assuming Moto’s model dose not have a centre nut on top?

as if it did, would you not just use a spanner on the centre nut?

my thought, you could drill two holes in a piece of flat steel and use a couple of bolts the same diameter as the holes, long enough so you can put nuts on ’em to tighten ’em up on the flat.

yeah thats it Tony

XYs version is prolly better.

moto should be able to whip up one of those in his lunch hour, being an engineer and all :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

then again, XY, you might have to make him one :woohoo:

Has the the leaking seal been fixed or are you going to have it leak the new oil again?

You could syringe the new oil in from a measuring jug through the bleed hole if you cant get the cap off
