Hi i am just about to replace the fork seals on my 2002 1150 gs adventure. had a good look at the post in font of all wisdom which is superb and gives me confidence to try it myself.
One difference noted though is the lover fork strut, mine has a brace right round the outside and i really cant see how it will allow movement of the stantion to get it forward of the top yoke and out...
I know its a model difference but how do i go about gettin a floppy stanction on my bike...???? ( if ya know what i mean... )
Many thanks in advance.......

But just undo the one top yoke nut as described & you will be amazed at how floppy it gets. It's actually really scary that one nut can do that to the front end. Once you have undone the nut & dropped the inner fork leg down & out just push handlebars one way & front wheel the other. Dead easy. Infact the hardest part I found was getting the old seal out (Used a blunt screwdriver & was careful not to mark the inside of the tube, a seal puller would of been ideal although there isnt much room under there.
