00:00If you've ever tried to service your own suspension in the garage and ended up scratching your forks,
00:04rounding off a spanner ring, or just swearing at a rag stuffed under a dust seal, this one's for you.
00:10I went digging through the listings, compared prices, ratings, and thousands of real reviews,
00:15and pulled together the top 5 shock absorber repair tools for motocross that actually earn
00:19their spot in your toolbox. Best part? Not a single one of these will cost you more than a
00:25coffee and a sandwich. First up is the classic C-spanner hook wrench, the one tool you'll wish
00:31you'd bought years ago. This is what you use to set preload on your rear shock collar without
00:36hammering a screwdriver into it like a caveman. It fits Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and most ATVs,
00:42and it's built from solid steel so it actually bites into the collar instead of slipping and
00:47gouging everything. It's 595, it's sold nearly 4,900 units, and it's sitting at a 4.8 rating.
00:54If you adjust your sag more than once a season, this pays for itself the first time you use it.
01:00Next is the universal 45-55mm front fork cleaning tool, and honestly, this is the sleeper hit of
01:07the whole list. It's a thin, flexible blade you slide up under the dust seal to clear out grit
01:12and dirt that's been chewing on your fork oil seal. 10 seconds per leg, and it can genuinely save you
01:18a full seal rebuild. It covers KTM EXE, XE, NSX, Honda, Sherco, Yamaha, Husqvarna, basically everything.
01:27$5.52. That's less than a set of seals costs you in labor alone.
01:34Number 3 is the same style of fork seal cleaner, but this one's the value pick, $4.03,
01:39with a perfect 5-star rating across more than 4,500 sales. That's a hard combination to argue with.
01:47It fits KTM EXE, Honda CR, and CRF, Yamaha YZ and WR, Suzuki RMZ, Kawasaki, Sherco, and ATVs.
01:55If you ride in mud, sand, or anywhere dusty, keep this in your fender bag and run it after every
02:01session. It's the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy for your forks.
02:06Fourth on the list is the Kawasaki, Honda, KTM, Suzuki, and Yamaha compatible fork cleaner,
02:11and this one is the cheapest of the bunch at $3.80. It's specifically listed for the YZ,
02:19YZ250F, YZ450F, YZ250, and YZ450, so if you're on a Yamaha, this is your no-brainer.
02:26Ratings of 4.9 with almost 4,500 sold. At this price, I'd honestly buy two one for the truck,
02:33one for the workbench, because these things love to disappear.
02:36And rounding out the top five is another 45-55mm fork cleaning tool with really wide bike
02:42coverage, KTM EXE, Kawasaki, Suzuki, ATVs, Honda CRF, Yamaha YZ, and Husqvarna.
02:49This one's 591 with a 4.7 rating, and the reason it makes the list is the build.
02:55It's a little stiffer than some of the budget versions, which means it holds its shape when
02:59you're working around a stubborn seal instead of folding over on you.
03:03If you're servicing multiple bikes, this is the one I'd reach for.
03:07All the links are down in the description, so go grab whichever one fits your setup and
03:12grab a couple, they're cheap.
