Fork Removal and Fork Oil Replacement - Honda Rebel 2017 CMX 500

The 2017 Honda Rebel is a great bike and I’ve enjoyed riding it for the last two years. The only thing I don’t like is the front suspension. It is soft, bottoms out, and causes a really bumpy ride. My plan was to install an Ohlins or YSS spring kit to help stiffen up the front end and get rid of the bouncy front suspension. However, they are all on back order and wont be available for a few weeks. (I plan to make a video detailing the install and thoughts) Next best, and cheaper, alternative was swapping out the factory 10W fork oil with 15W to see if there was any difference. I’d really like to hear your thoughts about the front suspension on the 2017 Honda Rebel CMX 500. I used to have a 1980 CMX 500 and the suspension was no where near as bad as it is on the rebel. Hope this video helped you out and thanks for watching! #hondarebel #forkoil #frontsuspension #cmx500 #motorcycles
