@roadracerx

Got the forks apart easy enough. Tried installing the new springs but quickly failed. How do you keep the threaded rod extended so you can put on the collar and nut? All the videos I've come across the threaded rod seems to protrude MUCH further outside of the fork.
 
@bp_SFV4 so AFTER setting the oil level / air gap with the fork collapsed the spring spacer goes in first, then the spring, then the nut. I'm not sure what the pitch of that thread is off hand but there is a pull up tool and a shim that can be placed under the nut so the top cap can be threaded on. You need some red Ohlins grease on the threads of the top cap as well.

Make sense?
 
Yeah it makes sense.

Every video I found has those steps but interestingly enough, they were always non-electronic caps. I presume there's more clearance since the top cap isn't as long but none of the videos ever showed a pull up tool.

I also don't see how you could do the job on the electronic forks without a fork spring compressor.

The thread of the dampening rod is M12x1.00, that much I know.
 
@roadracerx

I've seen those shims, does it look something like this?

I don't see where on the damper rod it would fit other than under the e-clip.

@bp_SFV4 yes that shim should work. The shim DOES NOT fit under that clip. There should be a 17 or 19 mm nut that holds on the upper spring support.
 
Yeah, there's the 19mm nut and the aluminum piece but on the electronic suspension the spring has to be very much compressed before its even reasonable to be able to drop the aluminum piece onto the damper rod and get the 19mm nut threaded.
 
Got them back together. I may that way harder than it needed to be.

But, my right fork leg doesn't seem to be taking enough oil. I poured 450cc of fluid into a cup and poured that into the fork. After working the damper rod a bit to get rid of a lot of air, I set the oil height without the spring or preload tube. I must have taken off 100-125cc of fluid in setting the height at 220mm.

The left leg wasn't like this at all. I poured 450cc, worked the damper rod and when I set the height I took off maybe 50cc. This seems more reasonable since I drained about 350cc from them originally and the OEM height is 230mm.

My only guess is that there's air trapped in the right leg.

The left leg when I work it its nice a quiet but the right isn't.

Like I said before, I really need the shock number. Don't want to speculate.

OK, took the shock out today, nr. is DU4682 and the lenght now is 311mm. Looking at the linksystem, It looks to me that shortening the linkrods (2020 model min 5mm) only has an effect on the angle of the swingarm, more angle with the same shocklenght what means to me more rideheight and more anti-squad. Is this correct or am I missing something?
 
@rikkie07 that shock is 310 mm +4/-2, C46, R6

Changing the links is beyond the scope of this thread and unnecessary. Stock linkage works well.
