Got one leaking (it's been sitting for 5 years, no surprise). Anyone have a source for seals n stuff? | ||

Part# J9131.8, originally 45813-94Y https://st-paul-harley-davidson-buell.myshopify.co m/products/j9131-8-genuine-buell-front-fork-oil-se al-b1h You can use fork seals from a KTM, they use similar forks on their older bikes. I remember when I had to rebuild mine a few years ago I pulled the seal, measured it with some calipers, and just found a pair online with the same dimension and I've been running them for 7-8 years now with no trouble. The brass bushings had enough wear on them that I should have replaced them, but I just had to skip those and again they've been fine. They were K&S brand, 50mm x 40mm x 7/10mm. Someone else on the forum wrote that the KTM number for the wp fork seals is 40541034. Also, this is a list of KTMs that use the same seals for reference: KTM: 300 DXC (90-92) 300 EXC/EGS (90-95) 300 GS (86) 300 MX (86, 90-92) 300 MXC (86, 94-95) 300 SX (93-95) 300 TXC (92) 350 EXC/EGS (90-91, 94-95) 350 GSXC (85) 350 LC4 EXC (94) 350 MX (85-86, 90-91, 94) 350 MX Enduro (87) 350 MXC/GS (85-86) 350 SX (94) 350 SX/Super Competition (95) | ||

Wow, is this ever timely! I've not posted on BW for a LONG time. Pesky life thing... Anyway I got a call from the owner of the 98 S1W I put together many moons ago. You guessed it, leaky fork! This S1W was a rolling chassis I got from Fireman Jim, sourced a 02 X1 motor and got it back on the road. We call it the Thunder Thong.. I can now get the necessary seals etc for the WP forks.. Thanks for starting this thread! |
