There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have used "other" methods multiple times on many forks over the years(inverted & standard both). I wish I would have ponied up much sooner for one.
Mine worked well, the syringe sealed well and did not get any fluid anywhere.
Hopefully when I use it the next time it does the same.
It removed the excess fluid just fine, which was not much because I actually pour and use a flashlight to look down inside. I check to see if its touching the measuring rod, when it starts to touch, I extract the extra amount until its not pulling any more fluid, or makes the sound a kid does when trying to drink from an empty cup through a straw.
Really helps to have a wood vise, or a vise with some sponges, rags or something between the jaws. Lightly clamp down on the fork outer tube(not the inner tube that compresses, damaging this can cause the seals to leak) so you have two free hands to use for pouring and use a flashlight.
Or if you have a nice bright light over your bench, this also works very well.
If you set the tool on the top of the fork tube just right(or use masking tape), it about holds itself in place.
But keep in mind it is not designed to hold in place or clamp around the fork tube, so you will have to hold it in place and work the plunger at the same time.
Using masking tape works fine, since it does not leave any residue behind, holds well enough(unless you already dumped old fork oil all over this spot) and comes off with ease.
You could honestly use any tape on this area because this section does not compress into the outer tube and does not run through the seals.
Typically this area and about 15-20mm below the top of the tube is in the upper triple clamps.
It says single use on the inside/backside the sticker on the syringe. I cleaned it out with brake clean, flushed it with water and put it away in a large zip lock bag.
Hopefully I can continue to use it as need be.
After one use I can say I love it.....if it continues to work so conveniently and efficiently over the years(or miles, since its a good idea to change your fork fluid every 10k miles for best results - actual fork removal and drain) this rating will stay at love.
Other reviews made comments that the tube was plastic and the markings wore off and that MotionPro should etch the numbers in. I guess MotionPro listened, because the unit that I got is metal and has numbers etched on it. Personally, I will use the recommended setting from the shop manual and measure with a tape measure anyhow. This is a great product that is well made. I didn't notice any slipping of the plastic tube from the metal straw, but if I see an issue, I can use duct tape to hold the two together. Duct tape is meant to seal ducts anyhow, so I imagine it should solve any leaks like this anyhow. Small hose clamps are an option but almost ridiculous, considering the size of the straw. Possibly a zip tie? Anyhow, it works well for me and is easy to store in a drawer or toolbox when work is done. The instructions suggest using an aqueous cleaner like Simple Green to clean the tool after use. Good luck, and thank you MotionPro for a great product!
