Fork seal replacement
-
Sorry Brook suspension. Go to website:
Then use the left hand button (looks like a = but with 3 lines) in the tool bar for:
Front end: then
Forks bushes: then
Guide bushes: then
Then change to search by product name they will be in dimensions…Do it with ‘slide bushes’ as well. Guide is top bushes and Slide is bottom bushes.
Good luck, let us know if you have any problems. Or how you get on

Actually, thinking about it, they are probably 41.7 x 20 x 1
If the fork Stantions are 41 then the bushes will be slightly wider so they are the sacrificial surface that connects. Not the stantion!…I was given the original dimensions in a post on this site last year. I’ll search for it later…

@SpookDog Haha no worries mate. Had me looking everywhere for 41.00mm
. Yeah i found another post on here and the guy had ordered them ones off brooks and said they worked perfectly so i ordered them up earlier. Ordered some paints too so should have some pretty fresh forks by the end if all goes well. Going to strip the paint off them tomorrow and address any pitting on the stancions etc -
Also get yourself a decent size tub of red rubber grease. Grease the station bottoms when you assemble it, as well as the seals & bushes…
It’s wicked stuff for fitting tyres as well. Grease under the rubber strip to waterproof the spoke tops inside the rim, as well as for slipping the tyre on
…It’s good with calliper piston & seals as well…
First time I saw it used was on ‘Wheeler Dealers’! Anton slavered it on a calliper piston with a brush!
I did some searching on the web after that and was surprised I’d never seen it before… -
@HOTSHOT-III yes you are right 25 mm is for the top, the bottom damper Bolt requires 62 mm, i used a new Copper washer but not loctite since Yamaha manual does not mention it
