seals

Hey guys, what's all involved in replacing the valve guide seals? I went through the old posts and am a little confused. Do I need to do any machining or can I just pull the old ones out and replace. Is this something a at home do it yourselfer can do or do I need a specialist? The service...

does anybody know where i can get fork oil seals for a 97 fe600e,thanks

Just removed the seals from my clutch cover (waterpump, shift, kick seals) and noticed they all seem to be oil seals but with metal outer ring/casing. My questions is, do they have to have the metal casings?? Anyone know? cheers

Hello all I suspect my 06 550 has a valve stem seal which is leaking, upon starting from cold after sitting for a couple of days, she blows smoke for up to 15-20 seconds then clears up, once warm and running there is no sign of oil smoke. The bike had a rebuilt about 35 hours ago due to...

My fork seals are shot at and i would like to change them myself, dose anyone know where i can get a manual to help as i have never do any work on forks before. Or should i just bite the bullet and hand over the chash and let some one else do it.

Anyone know the part numbers of these? I have the Husaberg p/n, but I'm looking for an SKF (or equiv.) number. Thanks, parsko

Anybody have these bearings for a '06 fe450, In the US ? Mine are hammered. :(

I,m sure this has been discussed before on various occasions but can someone tell me whether KTM 48mm forks use the same seals as Husaberg 48mm....Please.

I read somewhere that we can change the front fork seals with the ones from honda CRF. Am I right? Only have to machine the iner legs to match the outside diameter of the seals. What you can say about that? Where can I get that info?

Well a short time ago I noticed a little weeping coming from both of my front forks so I decided to give my local 'berg dealer a ring.. He told me that the seals were $20 apiece and the wipers were also 20 bucks, apiece. I had to check my heart, and it was still beating, barely, so I said...

Does anyone know if any model of KTM valve seals will fit to my FE 600 (98)?? Please help!! Thanks

I am in abit of a pickle i need some for my bike (2005 650FE) and i didnt order them from my berg man and i need them today. Can i go to the KTM dealer (are they same as 525 etc) and get them from him. If so what part number would i need to quote? Thanks guys...

Hi guys. Can you clear particles of sand / muck from the seals on 50mm WP conventional forks to stop them weeping? After washing and putting the bike away 2 rides ago, I notices the LEFT fork leg was weeping / leaking. After the next ride, the left fork leg appeared to be OK, but the RIGHT...

Guys , It is proving to be alot easier to try and get a KTM part # for my 03 -501 spares whenever possible because every time I order parts they seem to be wrong. I'm in Queensland Australia and order my bits from the other side ( Western Australia) of the country cause they seem to have a...

Not been on for a bit, I've been to Istanbul to watch my beloved Redmen win the European Cup. Anyway, before my historic trip I noticed the fork seal in the L/H fork was leaking badly, oil all over the floor. I thought about trying to remove the dirt but thought sod it I'll have a go at...

There is a Tech Tip on TT under the suspension subheading that explains a possible fix for fork seals that are leaking due to contamination. Info might be valuable some day, especially to 97-99 owners! Dan

ok so my bike mechanic sets about changing the seals on my waterpump on my 96 fe600 then he calls me to tell me that the camshaft has grooves on it & that is the problem & he couldn't say if it would still leak or not he put it back together cos i needed the bike for an enduro meeting today & it...

I have never changed fork seals but my 2002 FE 501 leaks oil out of both legs. I would like to be able to do it myself so as not to have to pay a dealer all the time. Anyone know what tools I would need to do it right? Some have said to slide a film negative under the fork seal to clean out...
