Marcus, I would apreciate to have a few advices on how to remove that teflon band. I noticed my shock sounded also like sand paper moving up and down so I bought a new teflon band along with the rubber seals under it. The problem is I cant remove the teflon band. It looks pretty stiff and hard to get through even with an x-acto blade :eek: Thanks!Originally posted by marcusgunby
I did a friends 2001 RM 125(Showa) with only 10hrs riding on it and the seal head assembly was almost too tight to go into the body(sounded like sandpaper while stroking the shaft).The seal diameter was 50.3mm and the body was 50mm.I removed the o rings behind the teflon band and the diameter reduced to 50.1mm.It then ran smoothly in the body.He rode it and was happy with the performance.I will inspect it mid season and may end up refitting the o ring to take up any wear.
