MarktheMuffin Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi All Have just got my bike back from its service YZF 750 r now ready for its long trip to the TT this year, (well so i thought) was told when i picked the bike up that i had a leak in my front fork, it can be fixed with new seals but as the chrome is pitted where the seals rub then these new ones wont last as long as they should, advice given was to replace the left fork, (theres nothing wrong with the right). Am i right in thinking that i need a left inner sleeve or is there some other tech name for it?...... Thanks for ur help RIDE SAFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted March 13, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yes the corect name would be stanchion, you may find a good set of forks on ebay but be careful my son got a set for his bandit once the ylooked immaculate just needed the seals replacing when he stripped them they where slightly bent which was the cause of the seals premature failure. another option would be too get Philpotts s to rechrome the leg foryou it would depend on availabilty of new leg from yamha and price if the rechrome was worth doing also i see Wemoto do a pattern stanchin for just a touch under £100 Merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator mervin Posted March 14, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2011 Check the wemoto picture it may not be the actual stanchion in the picture, if you are unsure about stripping them and rebuilding yourself Philpotts maybe the best bet Merv aha yes not the correct picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
