Good To Know

Q: How often should fork seals be replaced? A: Replace them whenever you see oil weeping down the fork tube or after significant dirt exposure. Regular servicing keeps damping consistent and protects the fork internals.

Q: Do I need any special tools for this job? A: Seal drivers and basic hand tools are typically used to press the new seals into place. A service manual for the IT490 will guide the correct procedure.

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