Replacement fork seals?
« on: May 20, 2013, 06:54:34 pm »
Forum gents,

Has anyone got a supplier of fork seals that last longer than a race?

Need ones that fit an 83 XC 250.

Thanks Pete and Carl

Mr Pons did a rebuild on my 84 model forks and the new seals have done 2 days riding - all ok.
(They work very well too and are matched to the rebuilt re springed rears :) )

Rob, you can ride the big auto on the weekend, just need to get inside that kicker mechanism before Saturday.

i just replaced the pawl on my 400. i had the spline wound 1 too many and hung the pawl out in space and when the bike stopped, something gave it a big clout and tore it in half...

Shoey...I considered buying it myself and also cry the big F word when I think about letting it go. Good luck at Canowindra on the weekend. I'd be there bar the family reunion and mums hospital dramas getting in the way :'(.

Thanks one and all for the input.

I just received some seals from good old Les. Came to the rescue.

brand looks like XNBR Technology- Two per plastic box.

Part Number 33-129-31

See how we go with them.
