Daytona 600/650 service tool fork assembler

[Robert]

I'm servicing my front fork and need at least this special service tool (No. 10). Has anyone sold his D600 and has got still got some service tools in stock? I'd pay cash.

Does anyone know where to get this, can the tool be self-made? My last option is buying it from world of triumph.

Sandy might be able to help.

I did A complete strip of my forks a couple of years ago and had to make 2 tools. I think one was that number 10, it's to hold a special nut deep in the shock so you can undo the bolt on the underside?? I just used a tube and ground the end to a profile that slotted into the castlelation.

I also made a seal drift from PVC plumbing pipe.

I will take a photo of each later today, I'm just not where they are at the moment.

Hahahahaha! That's a good one! Really! Great thanks to kiwikrasher. That's a lot cheaper and will do the job. I didn't know if the internal nut has to be unscrewed or not... but if it's only for holding it... all right. Will get a squared iron tomorrow and copy your artwork. =D

Master kwacky, I didn't know anything about Triumph'ants yet. WOT kicked off the throne. Useful alternative for this and that.

Thumbs up folks.

Round tube would probably work better and slightly thicker wall, I just used that as it was scrap I had lying around.

Sandy at Triumph-ant has been around for longer than I have been riding bikes. Very good reputation and usually able to find a triumph part when others have failed.

ATTENTION! STAND STILL! LISTEN UP! HERE COME'S THE ATAQ (answer to all questions):

I handed over to problem to my old geezer to let him make a tool sort of how kiwikrasher made one. He always is happy with new technical problems. They fascinate him like me.

Yes, round tube is the best solution. Here's a plan for anyone thinking about servicing his fork on his own. Models with this fork should be

(+) TT 600
(+) Speed Four
(+) Daytona 600 / 650
(+) Speed and Street Triples of that time (2001 - 2005)
(+) Sprint ST (don't kill me if I'm wrong)

... as long as it's not an upside-down fork. Check by yourself using the illustrations below. This is what super dad has come up with

"Special Tool for Disassembling and Assembling the 43 mm Daytona Fork Tubes

Take an (aluminium) tube of 350 mm length an 20 mm diametre.

The fork rod has a diametre of 13 mm; the inner diametre of the lock nut at the bottom of the ford is 22 mm.

Thus, a tube of 20 mm diametre fits between the rod an the lock nut. One end of the tube must be made sort of a pin or tenon (?) wrench.

The circumference of the 20 mm tube is roughly 64 mm. Cut four tenons of 10 mm width that will make up 40 mm of the circumference. The space between the tenons shall be four times 6 mm, totalling 24 mm. In case the tenons would not fit in the lock nut, they can be reduced to 9 mm width. This increases the spaces between the tenons to 7 mm each.

The other end of the tube is simpy bored through with 8 mm to fit an 8 mm straight locking pin."

Here's a goodie: You might also need a special tool for having the correct amount of fork fluid in both fork tubes. Don't buy the Turbo Space Syringe from WOT for a thousand grants. A simple way is to fill it up and suck it out using a syringe, till the fluid level is 112 mm measured from above whilst you keep the fork rod pressed in If you're a tech-freak like my father is one, you copy the special tool - either way... mission accomplished.

Dad's are great, no matter how old you are

Good work Rob, way more professional than mine!

I did a similar thing with the syringe. Once again just not as flash
