Good To Know

Q: How often should fork seals be replaced? A: Replace them whenever you see oil weeping down the fork tube or feel damping change. Many riders refresh seals as part of a seasonal suspension service.

Q: Do I need special tools to install these seals? A: A seal driver of the correct diameter makes the job easier, but many riders use a suitable socket or driver. Take care not to nick the seal lip during installation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
