WHY SHOULD I PAY DIY MOTO FIX INSTEAD OF FINDING FREE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE?
There is not a single Youtube video online for free that takes you through a shock rebuild from start to finish in the detailed precise way that DIY Moto Fix does. Our Video Manual and eBook take you through the entire process of servicing your shock. With everything in one place, once you purchase and download a video manual or eBook there is no need to search for information on the tools you'll need, replacement parts, or technical instruction. The free videos out there do not provide this for you, lack the quality our instructional products offer, and the level of detailed instruction is far less. In many instances, mistakes are are made in the free videos which can be costly to the viewer.

When you learn from a professional like myself, you are learning from someone who has has worked in the motorcycle industry. We care deeply that you rebuild your bike the right way. By supporting DIY Moto Fix you are supporting a company that cares about the knowledge and wisdom brought to dirt bike enthusiasts everywhere.


CAN I GET THE SHOCK VIDEO MANUAL ON A DVD OR THE EBOOK IN PRINT?
DIY Moto Fix believes you should get the video manual and eBook instantly, with the click of a button. When your bike is in need of fixing, it usually needs it now. That's why we made downloadable and streamable videos and eBooks, so you can immediately start working on your dirt bike to get it up and running.


WHAT PROGRAMS ARE NEEDED TO PLAY THE VIDEO MANUALS ON MY MOBILE PHONE OR PERSONAL COMPUTER?
Our Video Manuals are compatible with VLC Media Player and Quicktime. Both programs are downloadable for free, are completely safe, and provide the highest quality playback for our videos.


DO I NEED A FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL TO USE THE VIDEOS?
Yes, you should use a service manual in conjunction with the video manual. While the disassembly and assembly procedures for servicing Showa and KYB shocks are the same, each shock can feature different torque specs, nitrogen charging pressures, and other subtleties. A service manual is the best way to ensure specs for your specific shock are adhered to.
