yer,FWIW. . . . when it comes time to do the job. . . . I'm sticking with OE.
yes,I always use OEM stock. I’ve run into inferior aftermarket parts in the last 35 years. Fork seals and internal fork wear parts, stock for me.
Some parts are ‘better’ aftermarket, and some parts are not. It’s always a good idea to get a “feeling” on what others use for ‘this or that’ .
Agreed. But, their specs, may not be the specs of other aftermarket suppliers. I always know that OE will fit & work.Let's face it, Yamaha don't manufacture fork seals, they merely put out a spec for OE suppliers. . . .
Mine gen 1 had the same problem as yours. Constantly weeping. Cleaned them a bunch of times. That’s why I tried AllBalls. I put some Shock Sox on when I changed the seals. Ain’t leaked in yearsthis is just a thought but it seemed the first generation of the Super T had a rash of leaky fork seals with very low miles. Mine included. I just put the Yamaha parts back on it and I have not had another seal go out. I have not changed where i ride or how i ride. Just wondering if they had a part change sort of like they did with the timing chain tensioner?
