fork

I had my fork seals done "professionally" last season and had the forks polished, now the left seal is leaking and I'll never go back to that shop because the owner is an ass. So, which seals would you fine gentleman recommend I use when I do it myself?

What does this part do? Is this a dealer item? I noticed the one that isn't broken gets stuck when assembeled.. Please help, need to ride! John

Hi, I'm in the of the process of installing progressive springs, lowering kit and ricor intiminators on my -00 max. I'm filling it up and realise that the bottle i bought won't be enough for two forks. Now the problem is that I'm from Sweden and I only bought 32 ounces AmSoil 5wt oil with my...

Hi, I'm in the process of lowering my bike, so i bought some steering head bearings to. But is there any actual benefit of replacing the steering head bearings when the one currently in are fine? Thanks!

Hi, I was just about to tear down my forks but then i saw this: How am I supposed to remove this kind of bolt? The service manual shows a regular allen bolt...

Hi, I just bought progressive springs and the only part i don't know what to do with is the white PVC tube that comes along, so what am i supposed to do with it? Thanks!

Just read a Cycle World article on Honda's 2014 VFR-800 Interceptor, and going through the specs, I saw something that caught my eye. It has a 43mm non-inverted fork. It says there are no adjustments available for the fork, but then I looked at this image, and I see what looks like (at the bare...

Hi, I just bought myself ricor intiminators, progressive springs, new seals and head bearing. I assume that you'll need to remove the forks to get these stuff in there, so how do you guys secure the bike so that the front end is raised? I've read the forums about how to remove front forks, but...

Has anybody used different fork seals on their bike I mean by different to be other than stock.Just tried ball's seals and they did not last.I see different manufacturers claiming to be leak proof and 4 times stronger etc.looking for some different experiences on the subject

My 89 max has raceteched forks that are 835mm axle centre to top, which is a bit short as I'm grinding the headers. What's your ( free length ) on your forks? :punk:

Well I was hoping to avoid changing the fork seals again, but I now have the time since i am rebuilding the engine. I put seals in about 4 years ago when bike was mostly stock and are leaking now. I used the leak proof seals which are obviously all a lie! Curious what you guys have had good...

Went for a ride today on my 02 max and I stopped to grab a bite to eat and when I was done I noticed fluid on my right fork seal. I wiped it down and then road an hour home hitting some major bumps and when I got home I gave it another inspection and there wasn't a drop. Should I look into...

I installed Progressive springs awhile ago and tried to reuse the old seals well they leaked.:bang head: So I tore the forks back a part and installed new oil and seals went for a ride and one seal is leaking the only thing I can think of is I didn't use a seal installer. The one on Sean's...

Hey I just thought I'd drop by and post some pics, she's pretty much all done the way I 'm satisfied with! I did want to ask if anyone has any experiance with R1 parts on Vmax's- I have an 2008 R1, and I was thinking about doing a front fork swap, and maybe the brakes, wheel, hell the whole...

Hi I have a fork seal leak after I installed progressive springs and was wondering if I did something wrong or if just a coincidence? I pulled forks out completely so I could measure the fork oil but did not change the synthetic power steering fluid I was using for fork oil. I measured down from...

Could someone please tell me the uncompressed length of stock forks. I've admitted defeat and a mate is turning up some fork extensions for my R1 forks.

Hi! I have -00 Vmax without the bug guard at the forks. Do these bug guards fit the -00 forks? http://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/yam/500452aef8700209bc792436/front-fork If i'm unclear then the question is if part nr 42 will fit -00 forks. Does these actually benefit in any way or...

I took my daughter for a ride on the max and the front fork felt like it was bottoming out when stopping (hearing a clunk). She is maybe around 120#, I'm 250#. Is this much weight pushing the suspension to it's limits or could I have a front suspension issue? I also raised the bike in the rear...

The bike is a 93. I had a pretty good ring of oil on my fork, so I figured I'd better get the seals changed before the weather changed. I called the local cycle shop and they quoted me around $150. I didn't think that was to bad, but With Seans video and all the knowledge here, I figured I'd...
