kristian Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 What fork seals are you guys using? My mate said he had a set of pyramid seals fitted and they lasted 4 rides ? I think I had all balls ones fitted in my last bike but sold the bike not long after fitting so don’t really know how good they were?

lineaway Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 How long seals last can be caused by many things. Correct oil level. Bushings in spec. Seals being nipped during installation. Riding muddy events. And just bad luck. There are a lot of seals on the market, but usually the stock seals last the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Early 260 monts with the black tech forks devoured seals . I found the only ones that worked were the green skf ones .A bit pricey but solved the issue . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbaker Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Try one of these before you spend any more time and money on new seals. http://sealmate.net/ Best £6 I've spent on garage equipment - works every time.

pauls320 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Pretty hard to beat the SKF, seem pricey but kit includes stainless clip, Wiper seal and oil seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Tech forks share same seals as honda vt600 shadow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrabstick Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I intend to use OE seals when mine need doing, after all the originals are still fine after 16 months so any replacements should last just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
