Re: Fork Bushes Need Replacing
 

Dont hold back, go on you know you want to..

I found that PDQ do the Race Tech bushes cheaper than OEM, Roughly £35 for the set of 4 posted. They call them the "Ultra Slick", all i care is that they do the job.

How hard is it to drive the bushes in? Any special tools. Some peeps have said just use a drift, but when i tried on my spare set of GSXR forks i could not get the bushes to go in to the leg.

I didn't even try, it'd be a losing battle... Best to just get it over with I thought.

Don't waste your time with non-OEM seals unless you like wasting money. I've yet to find any that actually work, or at least for more than a month. Dust seals, fine, but not oil seals.

Not had to replace a bush yet but it does seem common sense to replace the top bush when replacing the oil seal anyway. Again, 'just incase'.

Go on then, no-one's stopping you.

If the bushes are metallic, stick them in the freezer overnight and play your hot air gun (you have got one, haven't you) over the bush housing in the slider for 5-10 minutes before fitting. The last thing I tried this on, the bush literally dropped in. Tight as a tight thing when everything was back to ambient temperature.

I used an old bush as a drift... But that had loads of potential for going wrong I think.
