seals

I have the forks apart for some paint work on the bottoms. What size PVC are you people using to get the upper bushings and oil seals back in? Where did you get it? Looked at local hardware (home center), 1.5" too small, 2.0" too large. Do they make 1.75"? I would be greatful for any info...

Hey guys, One of my fork seals on my 04 Vmax started leaking a while back and I am considering changing them myself instead of taking them to the dealership. Before I commit to diving in to this project, I was wondering if someone could tell me how hard a project this is, and what parts I...

hey guys. so i changed the fork seals/springs/oil this winter and on one side i had to pull the oil seal out once it was in and re-seat it as the tube had got stuck on the damper rod plastic seat. anyways long story short, i didn't note which one and now one of my seals looks like it *might*...

I bought a Venture diff on ebay. Everything looks fine, but I want to change the seals on it and I can figure most of it out using the several manuals (Haynes kinda sucks) I have for the VMax.........except for one particular seal. The big seal and o-ring on the wheel side of the diff I...

So my max seems to have a little oil leak when hot - it's dripping from the rear headers, just behind the #1 cylinder. Kyle and I thought it's the valve seals. I found these on fleaBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300354548246&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT...

I know there is alot odiscussion on these here, but i have to ask. How much does it usually cost to rebuild, and can anyone do it? Is there a downloadable I can get that will walk me through it? THanks guys, you've been a monumental help for my new bike purchase so far!

i removed and dissassembled my slave cyl. on my 86 to clean it out really well and was wondering if i needed to lube the seals with any type of grease or oil before i put it back together.thanks

Hey folks: You folks are awesome, so lemme ask you something that's bugging me: I'm cleaning up a set of R1 front calipers, and I'm trying to put a seal back in (one that goes into the region that the piston goes into) but I CAN'T FREAKIN' DO IT!!!!! Once I get a part of the seal into the...

'06 with 11,000 miles. I'm taking it to the dealership today to replace a leaking fork seal on the right side. The left side is fine. Should I have them do both anyways since it's there or is it if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

I've gotta throw some fork seals on her. How hard is it to do and any advice? Thankls:confused2:

So I replaced my fork seals (93) according to my Haynes manual, and it seems they dont want to hold air pressure now. I removed my dust caps and a bit of fluid was on top of the fork. It could be the upper o-ring also, but is it a common problem to have the air valves leak? Also is there a way...

Well, I've had problems with just about every part of my bike, and thanks to the forum here, I have rectified all of them, except the exhaust. I have serious exhaust gas coming from the left rear cylinder where the pipe joins the block. After careful observation (and exhaust gas inhalation)...

thought i might ask would you replace seals if they leave a slight mark on the forks after they have been depressed or only if they show or have evidence of actually leaking oil? thanks

Do not buy Never Leak Fork seals!They will leak!Its better to buy stock ones yamaha.
