Hi there
I have not been on here for some time and now have a 55w to go along with my 1vj.
Im having trouble finding the correct fork seals.
The first set my local bike shop got me were to tall in height to get the clip in ontop of the new dust seals provided in the "All balls racing" set, also the outside diameter was slightly to small leaving the oil seal slightly loose in the fork leg outer.
Next set provided was from "Athena" and these were the correct height to fit the dust cap and clip but also loose in the fork leg outer.
Both sets fit perfectly on the inside diameter.
Ive seen a post on here in the past mentioning this problem.
Im looking for a set that fits correctly on the outside diameter and are hopefully a better price than original Yamaha parts.
Im based in Portugal so E U based sellers would be cheaper than UK or USA for me.
Very happy this forum is still available for us Tenere fans.
Thanks :goodjob:

So checked the two sets of seals and there both 41x53.5x10. I gueuss these are for the xt600e forks. The seals I took out were 11mm high and the dust seals had metal outers.
The new oil seals fit fine with the new dust caps (plastic outers) for height, just .5mm small on the outer diameter. Thanks for your reply with the measurments and part numbers.
This will help when I order another set.
