VinnyL28 Posted October 10, 2005 I replaced the Fork seals on my 01 DRZ400E. I used Race Tech seals and the first ride out they both started leaking. Which seals have you all used?? This is the second set of Race Techs I have used. Any advice will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayward Son Posted October 10, 2005 racetech seals are the same as OEM seals. look at the seal numbers and the manufacturer.NOK or Showa.ive had both come in oem packages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erik Marquez My Rides (5) Posted October 10, 2005 I just installed a set of OEM seals.. My first ones lasted for more then two years. The Racetech seals I have in my spares box are the exact same as the OEM seals I just installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayward Son Posted October 10, 2005 did you use something to protect the seal when you pushed it over the sharp bushing groove on the fork tube? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
