Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace fork oil when installing new seals? A: Yes, fork oil is normally drained during seal replacement and fresh oil of the correct weight should be refilled to the specified level.

Q: How can I tell if my fork seals need replacing? A: Common signs include oil film or drips on the fork tubes, reduced damping, and dirt buildup around the seal lip.

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