fork

Some of you may remember my post from a couple of weeks ago after my weekend staring down the inside of a fork tube. A little update on the bike after that fun. The new All-Balls head bearing is sweet (although some adjustment might be in order); the Bel-Ray fork fluid, 10 wt, is tolerable...

It was a great weekend in my shop! On Saturday I gave my bike, and my brothers, an oil change, chain clean/lube and wash. Yesterday was the big phase II. I had the All Balls steering head bearing kit and a liter of Bel Ray 10 weight fork oil. Went over to my friends shop where I do motorcycle...

As one could figure out from the title, I'm looking for some advice from other riders with the R6 fork conversion. I had them dialed in nicely last season, but I've since taken ~ 10 lbs from the front of the bike with my naked conversion. I noticed a borderline tank slapper yesterday under hard...

So I'm in the process of doing the R6 fork mod to my bike. I ordered two separate fork legs off of eBay. One was new old stock and the other was a used unit. When I flip the used fork leg upside down and then right side up I can hear the oil going from one end to the other. When I do the...

04-09 FZ6 FORK OIL and seal replacement - With Steering Head Bearing Swap! We had a need for a FZ6 specific write-up on the front fork seal and oil replacement and I have until the end of February to get this done so may as well start now! This job gets you so close to the Steering Head...

I'm trying to find a Yamaha fork and dust seal kit on Ebay and having no luck finding the Yamaha parts but what about All Balls kit? $25 shipped! Anyone used this? I'm also buying All Balls steering head bearings at the same time.

Hi everyone, Whilst I have my bike stripped & prepping it to do the head bearings, I figured I'd treat her to some new fork seals & oil whilst I have it all apart & out. Don't when it was last done, if ever. Again I've watched some videos on the task & feel that it's not beyond my skill...

Half way doing the race tech mods to my FZ6 suspension ( damper is spinning around refusing to let go :shakehead:) , I know the oil seal under the dust cover will need replacing . But will the top and bottom bushes on the lower fork tubes need replacing too ? Also is there part number for...

hi I am in the middle of r1 fork convertion and rebuild so here r some pics Blah

I have an OEM fork for sale since previous owner swapped the OEM for an upgrade. I have since sold the bike (15k wonderful miles), but this fork only has about 5k miles. Brand new altogether, OEM parts are probably close to $1k. Willing to part for much less, feel free to make an offer :)...

My left fork is leaking oil so I want to replace the oil and seals, but I'm unsure what weight to use. As I'm sure many of you will know, yamaha simply say to use their owm '01' oil, however on wemoto it suggest you use a common synthetic fork oil and lets you choose the weight you want...

I am in the middle of swapping the steering post from my FZ to a ZX6R lower triple clamp. The ZX6R stem has a flange on the base which is slightly larger than the remaining stem diameter which, when pressed into the lower triple, does not allow it to be pulled all the way through. Removing was...

Hey folks, just got a project bike - an 06 FZ6. I'm hoping to have it on the road this spring. It was in a minor accident and needs the following parts: (any compatible parts will be considered - does not have to be factory original) Single front fork tube or entire single front shock (not...
