Today I'm going to show you how to perform 10000 miles maintenance on the front fork for 2009 Buell XB12Scg since I did not find a good thread with this information.
To maintain the fork I used:
- Fork compression tool https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Oil level gauge (can be just syringe and a tube from hardware store) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Seal driver (for 2009 Buell XB12Scg it is 41mm seal driver, can be replaced by plastic pipe from Home Depot ) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- 1 Liter front fork oil (I used viscosity W15 this time) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Tools to remove the fork from motorcycle and disassembling (wrenches, motorcycle stands, screwdrivers, e.t.c)
Here is parts list specifically for 2009 Buell XB12Scg you probably also will need to replace while front fork maintenance
