Yeah very cool tools with that tapping socket and the stud socket. Awesome I want one of each

[BaltimoreGS]

Nice to have real tools but the ingenuity of making your own tools form what you have commonly available is a more practical application for this forum.

I may have to borrow your bike sometime to get a shot of the F model  signal generator for a video

I figured that it was the same when you change the fork seals and springs whould just like to see it done once without a homemade tool or the "easy way" i want to do it the right way and to be able to see how to do it on the GS.

[BaltimoreGS]

Still not quite following you.  What do you mean by "the right way and "the easy way"?  The homemade tool works just as well as the factory tool for the old style forks.  If the new style forks are the same as an SV650 fork I have the real Suzuki special service tool for them but I don't have an F model to try it on.  It is just a splined point on a 3/8" socket.  You use it with a really long extension.  You can't do fork seals with the forks on the bike.  You could do springs that way but siphoning out the old oil would be a pain.

He means "right way == completely drain out fork oil and replace", rather than "leave em on the bike, use a hose to suck out junk".
  (which pretty much ensures that some old oil will remain)

o course, there's more than one way to "completely drain out fork oil".

I'm waiting to see a video on how to "safely and easily invert your bike, then get it wheels down again" 

[BaltimoreGS]

The only way to truly drain all the fork all is to remove the forks from the bike, disassemble and thoroughly clean everything.

Right. so that's what he's asking a video of.

ALthough.. isnt that overkill slightly?  after all, when we "change the oil", we (erm.. i guess i should say "most people"  ) dont "disassemble and thoroughly clean everything". We just drain it out for a while, and replace fresh fluid.

That's where I'm getting confused I guess, the fork seal replacement video I already did was a complete tear down and rebuild of a stock GS fork.

No problemo! She loves being in front of the camera!

Great oil change video. I'll be doing my first oil change in April, and I enjoyed watching your video rather than trying to follow a manual.

Only question: What product did you cleaning spray on the engine metal towards the end of the oil change video?

[BaltimoreGS]

Brake cleaner.  Be careful if your exhaust is hot, it is flammable.

-Jessie

[slipperymongoose]

Any spray can degreaser will do the trick. 

[PachmanP]

You're totally cheating though on these. I mean correct tools and engines off the bike. Let's see you swap a piston on the side of the road with only the factory tool kit!!! 

Great vids 


Jessie can I make suggestion? For those of us who like to keep our header pipes clean, if you wrap a little aluminium foil around the pipes near the oil filter and sump, this will reduce/stop oil from leaking all over them. When finished simply remove. 

I don't think I've seen GS with headers clean enough that that would make a difference...

Question about the oil. Is Resource conserving the same as Energy Conserving? Couldn't find anything with 10W-30 that didn't say anything. I bought the walmart stuff for like 12 bucks I'll return it if its not suitable for the bike. Just a little confused.
