seals

Okay! Brand new to riding so go easy on me. :) I bought a 2006 FZ6S the guy had wrecked it pretty good so I am doing a naked conversion. I noticed the fork seals were leaking so I ordered some new ones. After spending some time on here I realized that someone had put R6 Forks on there. How do I...

I am going to be replacing my fork seals but don't have a digital caliper to measure them with so I can buy the correct seal driver. Does anyone know the outside diameter of the fork tubes? Shop here wants 220 to do it and I can buy the driver and OEM seals for under 100. Bike is 06 FZ6 (blue W/...

I've posted several times about the S2's front brake seals, over time, dragging. (S1's not so much as they have half as many pistons) This (IME) is due to rubber hardening up, grit, grime, seals don't allow the FOUR pistons (each disc) to retract. The below video was taken today, with...

I need Brake caliper seal dimensions, i'll try to find the seals from the local seal / oring shop. Yesterday, i found all the orings needed for my other bike's carb rebuilding. May be i can find the caliper seals also. They have a great stock of seals.

I rebuilt my forks mostly to put stiffer springs in. I installed 1kg racetech springs. I used all balls fork seals and dust seals. Everything was spotlessly clean before being assembled. I pressed the seals in with an appropriately sized fork seal installation tool. I filled the forks carefully...

Hello, I changed the seals of my R6 forks last week, here is a write up for R6 modded Fz6 lovers: I've bought Allballs fork seals and dust seals for $25 Then i uninstalled front wheel, fender and brakes to take out forks. (Later i painted the fender, i'll write it in an other thread) I...

I've been searching like mad on the forum for the past several weeks to pretty much go over the bike from end to end. I recently purchased it, and it was a well maintained bike for its age but I wanted to make sure everything was sound from end to end. First order of business was to figure...

In short: My FZ6 has leaky fork seals. Have a friend who recently bought a 2009 Yamaha R6S, who plans to replace his front with R1 forks. SO his R6S forks may be available, however one of them is leaking too. Would the R6S forks be an upgrade over stock 2004 FZ6 forks? They're both...

Most of you know I adopted a BMW R1200 GS a couple years ago for longer trips/touring, and it's become my commuting/weekend bike too. I've tried to put my FZ up for sale a couple times, but a last, balls-to-the-wall ride through the mountains convinces me to keep her awhile longer. It's...

Hi, I just pulled my bike's manifold and looked it's inside. The #2 cyl's exhaust was black than I inspected the valves with a lamp. I'm waiting your opinions... Also can I change valve oil seals without taking apart the head like in this video...

Over the last week or so I have noticed that on cornereing my bike doesn't track exactly how I figure it should. I checked tire pressures and it was all ok, only about 5000kms on the Z8's so plenty of life there still. Tha handling is like hitting a tar snake or riding along a white lane...

I'm going to be replacing my brake seals in the coming days and will be replacing my lines with braided ones as well. It all seems a bit daunting to be frank. I have a complete set of seals, washers, grease etc ready. I have been reading and prepping for the seals replacement but I'm not sure...

I'm planning to do the R6 fork mod so I've been checking out ebay and CL for parts. The complete assemblies in good shape are expensive @ $400+. There are a few that are bent which I would say are garbage, and then there are a few that look ok, but have leaks. I've read that seals are...

Hi, I'm planning to rebuild my front brake caliper and looking to buy the caliper seal kits. Item 7 & 9 in the diagram at the following link: 2007 FZ6 - FZS6WC Yamaha Motorcycle FRONT BRAKE CALIPER Diagram and Parts Based on the diagram, the top and bottom caliper seals have different...

So I went to take my bike in to work so I could do the brake caliper rebuild with new seals when I noticed that the front left fork was leaking. It would have been nice to find this two weeks ago before everyone was taking their bikes in for tune ups but I did happen to find a good very local...

For the past two months I've had issues with shudder/vibration under braking from the front end. The shudder and vibration started after having the wheels powdercoated, and now it has become progressively worse to the point where I feel like I'm one of those mechanical bulls. A friend had a...
