I want to change the front springs on my Dyna what is the easiest way to do it?

 

I did mine on the bike after changing the sliders to chrome.

[ol][*]Start with the service manual.[*]Jack it up.[*]Remove the fork tube bolts at the top (carefully, they will shoot across the room).[*]Remove and replace.[/ol]
If you're changing oil, you'll have to remove the front wheel and then the forks from the clamps. Don't forget to compress and extend the forks a few times when you add new oil.

You'll probably need two people to replace the fork tube bolts.

 

best route is to buy the service manual and follow the procedure. Scott outlined it pretty accurately, but having the SM gives you pictures, proper order of things, torque spec's, etc

 

Easiest way is to drop it of at a local Indy

Best way is to follow KTM Scott's directions. It is really easy once the front end is in the air. I recommend breaking the bolts loose while it is on the ground though.

 

it's true about the heavy *** top bolt taking flight.for me,it usually dings a riser, then flies straight up and lands back down on the gas tank, bouncing a couple times.

i learned to put a shop rag across the bolt/wrench and have someone hold that whilst i twist it loose

 

The best way to do it is to put in some cartridge emulators instead.

 

thanks Bros I'll get a bro to give me a hand

 

Would you still suggest keeping the forks on the trees if you are putting a lowering kit on it? To get the additional spring underneath the seat pipe, you have to remove the bolt at the bottom of the slider and pull the seat pipe out through the top. Can you do this while the forks are on the bike? Or, should you just go ahead and remove them. I'm going to be installing a Progressive lowering kit this weekend, so I really need to know.

Watch thatsharp a$$ piece of tubing on top of the spring when taking the fork caps off and putting them back on. Damn near cut my finger off on one last weekend.
