Posted May 30, 201014 yr I'm trying to change the fork seals on a 1982 SR185 and there is no screw at the bottom of the forks to separate the tubes. Anyone know how to separate them?
May 31, 201014 yr Tiger ... it is nice to meet another Biker Lady ... I do not have the exact answer ... they do make a Haynes manual for that model ... however if you have removed the front wheel and the axle ... and cleaned the bottom of the forks very well ... and are now sure there are no screws ... clean the seal area very well and ... look for a heavy duty snap ring in the top of the forks above the seals ... for if they are not held in at the bottom ... they are normally held via a snap ring at the top ...

Dera Tiger lady Go to yamaha sr185 group at yahoo and you can dowm load the manual for this bike and it shows you how to do it, and yes there are no screws, there is a special tool for this but you can do it useing a vice after you remove the clips on top of the seal underneath the protective dust boot.
