How about the dealership? Maybe they can order one for you.
Yes either from KFM-Motorrader: https://www.kfm-motorraeder.de/cms/en/genuine-spare-parts/yamaha-spare-parts?itemid=908900157300New question. I am trying to source the Yamaha SST fork spring compressor tool. This is specific to the ES model. The service manual lists two part numbers; 90890-01573 and YM-01573. I can't seem to get either number to come up in any of the on-line parts fiches I've tried. Those numbers don't come up in a google search either. Anyone know how to order one?
Here’s a suggestion for you that I did. I went to a machine shop with the plastic piece from the fork, that the tool fits around and had them stamp a hole in a scrap piece of iron that they had. They then used a hand grinder to open up the hole and clean it up. I think the stamp was 1.25 inch. Length and width of the bar was approx 1.75 X 12 in. I think the iron was 3/8” perhaps. I took them 15 minutes, most of which was setting up the press. I used it once a month ago and had a second pair of hands so I didn’t need holes for straps but certainly could be added. It worked perfectly.Reviving an old thread. Im looking at sources for the ES specific fork compression tool, referenced earlier and my question is has anyone heard of www.cmsnl.com before? Are they a legit shop? Looks like I can get the FORK SPRING COMPRESSION TOOL for about $76.
