Fork seals
-
@irongamer727 there's guide bushes inside the forks. The Yamaha workshop manual says to replace them every time you do the seals. No need, but you definitely need to check them. If they're worn your fork stanchions will have too much lateral movement and it will knacker your new seals real fast.
@finnerz89 alright. Does that mean stiffer forks will prolong the life of the seals?

@irongamer727 no, but having good guide bushes will
lol.
It's not about the up and down movement it's whether there's any free play from side to sideCurrent bikes:

@irongamer727 not a clue, they look very similar. Maybe check fowlers, they might have the same part number?
