Hey all, whats up. As some of you may know I finally blew my right front fork seal, after having a small leak for around 1000 miles. Anywho, Im getting ready to buy the parts I need to replace them. So far, this is what I have: (2) O-RING (13.8X2.4) (2) O-RING (37.2X2.4) (2) fork seals (2) fork dust seals and at least 36 ounces of fork oil. Now my question is this... how long does it take before you have to replace the bushings? Its an 03 600 RR with around 10,500 on it. Everything feels tight in the front end (did, before the seal, now im not sure, havnt ridden it lol) and ive had no problems with tank slappers or even the slightest bit of wiggles in the corners or high accel runs.... should I be worried about the bushings? I have a feeling, and so does a friend of mine, that my bushings should be in pretty good shape. they havnt had that much abuse and its a fairly newish bike. The manual says only to replace them if needed.... should I worry about them? any 03ers out there replace seals yet?


thanks for any advice... ill take some tips and tricks if you got em too involving replacing these damn things,


Chris

 

Your going to all that trouble, replace the bushings. You sleep better at night not worring bout doin the right thing

 

my personal take is that if you're in there, replace it all...unless you're not even touching it at all...
