[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 125704, member: 21529"] Thank mx770 I was about to scream till you added the critical part about the spacers to compress upon. Too many people have lost bikes off the sides of trailers trying no to damage seals. Ok here is my slightly controversial fix for what I believe to be bad chroming on older Yamahas, can’t comment on newer ones, though my YZF has been fine (but it’s a 750 so I try not to get it near the dirt). The chrome seems to polish to super shiny & the seals don’t seem to seal against this. I give them a slight hone with some mild sandpaper in a cross-hatch pattern. This apparently is common practise on hydraulic rams. I wouldn’t really try this on new un-shined up chrome but it was worth a mention. $70 seal inserter? You mean a $4 piece of PVC tube? [/QUOTE]
