RallyRaid open cartridge kit install - Yamaha Tenere 700

Описание: Edit see skf info below (spacer not needed)

Hi guys!
As promised, made a video on the install of the RallyRaid open cartridge kit.
It’s loooong, and still doesn’t cover every detail (removal & install of forks). For seal and bushing removal/install, check my fork service video here: Fork oil seal replacement - Yamaha Tenere 700 -    • Fork oil seal replacement - Yamaha Tenere ...  

It’s not a tricky install, but I will say the cartridge removal tool is nice to have when removing the piston.

Make sure that if you replace the oem seals with the SKF ones, do not use the spacer.
EDIT — you do not have to use the spacer, but you will have a tighter snug fit with the retaining clip doing so, just make sure it goes in the the groove completely ) —

MOST IMPORTANT !!
RTFM, follow RallyRaid’s installation guide found here:

https://www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk/...

Make sure you bleed the system thoroughly when filling up with oil.
450ml/leg, air gap 120mm

Take it slow, make sure you have all the tools prior ripping the forks apart.
43mm Fork seal driver
impact driver (nice to have)
measuring cup
air gap tool (will make it less messy)
14mm hex bit for removing rebound valve
cartridge tool (I needed it)
patients:)

That’s it folks, please ask questions if you have any.

And sorry for my crappy video editing skills, lost some video so couldn’t redo after I saw my errors.

Next video will be the test ride

Ps. Think I used the do not use the spacer a few to many times lol.
