Re: Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
"thinking about the comment above about the 900SS seals, I wonder if that is what you got. 41x54x11mm would sit tight on the stanchion tube but loose the slider tube and they`re too high as well." Maybe, I can't read what's printed on them, but it doesn't appear to be dimensions and all I ...

Re: Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
The dimensions are printed on top of the oil seal. What are they? Thanx for the quick replies: I just realized when I set the oil seal in the Lower Fork Slider it's depth is too large to allow the metal retaining clip to fit into its groove. So I was sold an oil seal for a 907 that doesn't fit a 907...

Re: Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
ok - got the old dust seal out w/ the screw trick, (came out fairly easy). I set the new one in the lower, receiving - larger black tube thing (sorry about my terminology) and found that it loosely fits, it could fall right out. But it's tight around the chrome pipe. Do you think it will still hold ...

Re: Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
finally got around to trying to replace these seals; I've got stuff everywhere. I didn't realize the internal parts of the right fork were going to be different from the left. I suppose I should have - looking at the diagram now I think I can tell. Just made sense that they would be the same? The se...

Re: Loosen the front axle (spindle)
Thnx for all the input; finally got it out this morning. I put some wd-40 on it, let it sit overnight and tried the pipe extension w/ wrench and it popped.

Re: Loosen the front axle (spindle)
I'll try some of the suggested & report back tomorrow; I tried the socket wrench and a 2 foot breaker bar (pipe extension); I got the feeling the wrench was going to break.

Loosen the front axle (spindle)
I can't seem to get the front axle out; I bought a 14mm allen socket and a 350 ft*lb impact wrench (air), they also sold a 700 ft*lb, maybe I should try that? I only loosened the two pinch bolts on the right side near the 14mm insert. I didn't see anything else holding the axle in place. Any suggest...
Re: tools
you can use a 14mm hex bolt & bend it to 90 deg. Just tried it & the make-shift wrench just rotated about itself.

Re: Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
You need fork seals and oil. Bushings only if there`s too much free play and new dust seals if yours are dry and cracked. Thanks for all your input: Just to clarify: I don't need the snap ring, I can reuse the old one? I was watching YouTube videos of replacing seals and it seems they destroyed the...

Front Fork Seals rebuild, need a list of parts
Hi Group. I'm going to replace both front fork seals, I bought the 'kit' from Ebay, but I believe it only has the two rubber rings (seals), I believe I need upper & lower metal rings, maybe some bushings, but I'm not sure as to what can or cannot be reused. I have both manuals so no need there. ...

Adjust front suspension?
I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the 'stiffness' of the front suspension. I'm not a very experienced street rider due to the nature of my 907 (more an avid off-road rider), but she's been running fine for over a month now, I think this is a record in the 12 years I've had it , so I have a ...

Motorcycles, speeding, and radar
I'm wondering your thoughts on this: Do you think cops are a little more forgiving when it comes to motorcycles and the speed limit, in terms of highway speeds. I went thru radar yesterday on the Interstate at 90 in a 65 (didn't get pulled), but I was in heavy traffic and found a little area to acce...

Re: Fuel Pump - 3 second priming was bypassed
paso750, nod. I realized I could get another bike, but I was hoping to get 'piece of mind' for that kind of money.
