Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
I'm currently stripping, powdercoating and rebuilding my SV's forks.
I got a quote of Robinson's Foundry for the dust and oil seals, and the fixed and sliding bushes, and then realised these prices were each, and not for a pair! I've found both seals for a lot less at Wemoto, but does anyone know of a place that supplies the bushes? Both bushes are in good nick (and still have Teflon over the copper), so is it neccesary to replace them? |
Re: Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
Reassemble the fork loosely, without the seals, if there's any play they'll need renewal.
I can't imagine anybody but Suzuki would readily supply the bushes, if anyone else does at all. |
Re: Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
I think racetech list a price them on their website (not sure like), no idea if those are them being middleman for suzuki bits though.

Re: Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
Yes, they do, but they're only available from Racetech in the States. Which is why I say they're not readily available.
PS. Beware cheapy seals. |
Re: Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
Thanks guys, I did find these people who charge about £18 a pair, but only stock outer bushes.
http://motorcycleproducts.co.uk/cata...4-p-57936.html My manual says only replace them if the teflon appears to be wearing. The lower, outer bushes were fine, but the upper inner looked worse for wear. I then realised the upper bushes have their lining on the inside, and this was fine too! Cheers Sid, I will check before I refill them anyway, and hope to see you at the Shire sometime soon! |
Re: Fork seals and bush prices - WT*?
£50.30 for the whole set for the whole front end for the bushes.
Or £44.26 to Org members. |
