Fork Seals 1981 rd350lc

#1 Post by 2cycle » Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:28 am

Looking to replace my fork seals. called my local Yamaha dealer and they only offer a seal kit....seal and dust boot for $40 ea. Does anyone have a part # for the seal only.

Whats the part for the new 'kit'?

I have a friend who needs the boots if you only need seals maybe we can sort something out?

Ahh those are the washers that stop the bush from moving, and never need to be replaced :/

Ive seen them fitted both ways, but usually up as its easier to lever them out later.
