Fork Seals??

[Guest]

Hi, new to this forum. I've been looking around for a while and then I thought I would make an account, ask a few questions and give some advise if and when I can. First question Id like to ask would be, where does everybody get there oil seals from apart from Suzuki, they need to be genuine obviously.

Many Thanks!

See the link in my for your mega-welcome. Follow the links contained therein for everything you ever wanted to know about working on your bike and more.

Suzuki dealers sell the fork seals obviously. Many of us in the U.S. get our parts from online OEM vendors but seeing as you're in Ireland, shipping may be an issue if they sell parts overseas at all.

Aftermarket fork seals work too, but tend not to last quite as long from what I've heard.

Thanks for that, found some seals on google for only £15.38 for the pair from this company http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/suz...als-83-89.html they aren't close to me but they offer a postage service for only £2.50 - genuine too, the price is good, lets hope the seals are too.

The item description says they're genuine fork seals, doesn't say they're OEM.

If they're metal, coated in rubber, and have springs on the inside, then they're probably close enough to OEM to not matter. If they're squishy, they're definitely not OEM but still may work just fine.
