Good To Know

Q: What causes fork seals to fail on a DT175? A: Age, dried out rubber, and grit pulled past the dust seal are the usual causes. Once the seal lip hardens, oil escapes and damping suffers.

Q: Can I replace fork seals without special tools? A: Basic hand tools plus a seal driver or suitable drift handle most fork seal jobs. Careful work around the tube surface avoids nicks that would cause a new leak.

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