seal

Hello. And thanks for all the pointers on the fork spring install and all that info that goes with getting it done. I do however have an issue that I have not found in any search. 2003 Max. 15k, allegedly absolutely everything is stock. When it comes to the oil seal area. Basically...

whats the average fork seal lifespan for a vmax or a normal bike. not something thats being stunted. Only bike i've ever done fork seals on had 30k miles and was almost 20 yrs old, is that typical?

Hey Guys: So I'm having my calipers powder coated and obviously the seals have to come out (else they be a gooey mess). The powder coater says that he'll "try to save them," but this hardly sounds encouraging. Does anybody know the best place to get seal kits for the rear OEM caliper (1990)...

I've been noticing a very light oil residue on my right front fork every time I take my 2001 V-Max (26,000 miles) out for a ride. Is this an early warning that I've got a front fork seal getting ready to go? I've never replaced the front fork seals or the fork oil in this bike. What's a fair...

HELP, PLEASE! I noticed on my way home that my 07 VMAX is leaking oil out of where the black seal is that compresses up my left side fork, dripping down to the front brake caliper. Is this an expensive repair? I am NOT mechanically inclined. Lastly, can I use the bike at low speeds to go to...

Can't seem to find it on the parts fiche on-line. Anyone know the part #

I need to replace my fork seals has anyone heard of doubling up on the seals? I have a few friends that ride Harleys and they said it works better on their bike. Any input ? Thanks, Chris

Hi What is the best way to replace the oil and dust seals on the front fork. Do i have to tear it all apart ? Or can i just rip the old ones out with a screw or something and push the new ones in using a pvc pipe? i know there is a very good walk through here on this site about how...

Can the front fork dust seal be replaced without a fork seal driver tool?

Any of the forum have experience changing the drive shaft yoke oil seal on the middle gear drive? Mine seams to have reached the end of it's life. The service manuals seem to indicate that the seal can be removed once the driveshaft, swingarm universal joint and and driveshaft yoke are removed...

I removed my tank to apply the KBS Tank Sealer. It is not difficult if you follow the instructions, just a little time consuming. I have attached a copy of the instructions. Might be a good idea to make this a "sticky".

Got a leaking fork seal that needs replaced. Going to do both sides, naturally. Then, after checking all the posts I could find on the forum, I also decided to install progressive springs while I'm there. I ordered stock dust seals, oil seals and copper gaskets for the bottom hex bolts. And...

Mark Saw somewhere that you had replaced this before ..can you link me to your old post? D

I'm going to order seal kits for my Tokico's that have been in my garage for two years. Parts fiche says 2 kits are required. Is that 2 kits per caliper or for both?

Hi all. This is the 3rd seal replacement in about 4500 miles on my right fork tube since I did them both at about 2200 miles. My bike is a 1995 with 1,013 miles on it when I bought it 2 years ago. I now have 8600 miles on it and my left seal is fine and not leaking. After cleaning up my right...

Well, I've read though the threads about Forks and I couldn't find an answer to this.:ummm: If a fork is leaking at the dust seal, does that mean the internal seal has gone bad or the dust seal needs replacement? Both my front shocks are still @ 11psi but the oil runs down and drips off one of...

Please help me on this. I have a 98 Vmax and I have oil leaking from behind the clutch slave cylinder at a seal known as an "SDO type" seal. I don't know what "SDO type" means. My question is, can this seal be installed without splitting the case? My service manual does not stipulate...

Hey guys, I've done seal jobs on a few different forks but never the Vmax. I should have changed them out when I put in springs and emulators but they only had 9300 miles on them at the time. They are leaking (one fairly significantly) now and I need to fix this. I called the Yamaha dealer...
