I did something similar but welded a socket onto the end of it
a handy tip is to drill and tap the other end and it can be used to recharge the cartridge with oil when rebuilding the forks .

But this is for K2-K4, yeah?
this is my tool for k2-k4 forks
with built in cartridge priming threaded end too.
Made me own tool. In fact made a couple of different versions based on
@V_i_c_i .dwg instructions
Del, what size is that pipe you've used? You one is easier to copy for me than the welded jobs - I can't weld stuff.
Seth tells me yours is for a K2-K4 model anyway, so no matter. Thx
you need the later one with the welded bent washer on it
col as del's is for the earlier models .
just for info on either tool the pipe needs to be big enough to clear the nut on the damper rod i think thats 12mm but will check and modify the post .
:cheers:
Ok, fixing that post. Ta.
Whoooo nearly got up and went out to measure mine and its blowing a hooli out there :grin: :grin: :grin:
its fine in dundee but me and em are heading to glasgow soon for the day will take my big coat now :onya:
Have I gone mad, or is the K5+ cartridge tool diagram posted by V_i_c_i still in the downloads section? I could have sworn I looked at it recently but now I can't find it. Gonna need to make one soon...

Oh yes, thank you. I didn't expect it to be in "Manuals", I was looking in "General". Sorry about that.
You can see a couple of pics of Del's DIY tool by clicking on the post link. Maybe
@Del could give us the measurements.

As to the pic I attached, the guy owns a K3,so this should work. Dimensions: 40cm long, 22mm outer diameter, the 2 noses are 3mm wide and 5mm deep. 2 noses are a bit easier to make than 4.
Oops, posted in wrong thread
Soo...K5'S have the oil hole down low closer to the bush? is this correct..?

@JIMHMR There are 3 different fork tubes and 2 different cartridge setups on the gsx1400 over the years .
If you do a search of the suspension section you will see pictures of the differences between them all.
