Fork Seals

[ctraylor]

I need some fork seals installed on an 86 Yamaha Venturre. Is this something we can do at Don's maintenance day or is this an extensive job?

The best time would be about 2 hours,,,, but knowing what happens at Don's it could\will be longer,,, probably more like 3 or 4 hours. You'll need to have new seals, new sliders and fork oil, and if you want to install progressive springs while you're at it, you'll need those as well. With a couple of guys who know what they are doing, it should be very well manageable. So now you'll need some volunteers as well maybe.

Curtis,

That is a fairly involved job, and there is going to be a lot going on there. It's doable, but make sure you have all the tools you need with you and start early in case you run into troubles.

You're going to want to be in the garage if you do it at MD. You don't want any little pieces lost in the lawn or driveway.

 

This is a messy messy job that requires some space to lay out the fork parts. You need to be sure that Don can accommodate this.

 

Somebody give me a kick in the shin if I need to bring my damping rod holding tool and seal driver.

I may tackle this one in my shop before I leave it sounds pretty involved and we will be a long way from home...

 

Thanks
