Forks and seals.
I'm looking for John to pipe up here, but perhaps others know as well. Are the '86-'90 fork seals the same as the pre '86 ones. I know fork internals differ, and so do some of the stanction tubes in the triple clamp area. Any info I try to seek out is usually US based and they never had the '86 on. I have both sets of forks and need to order seals for all. My measuring stuff is at work, I would like to order today and thought this might be a quick way to get a good answer. Thanks in advance.

Re: Forks and seals.
They'll all the same Rory. 1984 is P/N 29L-23145-00, but it supersedes to 1UA-23145-00 which is the 85-90 P/N.
I always buy mine from Yamaha, but any shop can get them from Parts Unlimited, Moto Van, All Balls, etc. I used a set someone bought from Yambits last year and they leaked on his bike right away.

Re: Forks and seals.
Thanks John. I was pretty sure they were all the same. I bought 4 sets of Athena seals. I'll let everyone know how these work out.
Does anyone know about dust caps? The aftermarket is coming up short there. OEM still available?

Re: Forks and seals.
Both still available from Yamaha the last time I checked. Not expensive. About $15 Cdn each I believe.
Available aftermarket as well....Yambits has them so others will too. Pyramid makes them also. When I search eBay "Fork Seals" the boots show up too.

Re: Forks and seals.
Lol....I know exactly what you mean.
When I search for something on eBay I try to use every possible name for the part. It can take a long time, but eventually I'll find what I need. Often what the seller calls it in no way relates to what it actually is. Clocks are a good example....instruments, gauges, gages, meters, clocks, dials, indicators, etc...
