Fork "O" rings needed
Hello gents , I need advice on where I can get "o" rings for the damping adjusting screw ( the screw at the very top of the forks ) and the "o" ring for preload adjuster  . I tried using a generic o ring but it still leaks . Any information will be much appreciated

Smear a thin coat of roof n gutter sealant on the o ring before refitting.
There is a small circlip from memory holding the damping adj rod into the fork cap.
It stopped mine weeping oil for a number of yrs until I sold the forks
A few of us Riding up your way Monday if keen on catching up again mate

Are you up for a ride on Monday? 17th
If it's not made in China, it's a fake!

43F-23188-10 is the large o-ring, as for the small o-ring for the damping adjusting screw! Hard to believe that there is no special part number, which would lead me to believe that it is a generic metric o-ringcobbadiggabuddyblooo wrote:They are not listed as a Yamaha part..

Re: Fork "O" rings needed
It's the same also for the little circlip that holds it in place .. No listed part number there too.
The guy at Yamaha just scratched his head and had no idea either why those parts aren't listed.

Re: Fork "O" rings needed
Thanks for the advice boys , I've ordered the large o rings but I think I'll do the goo smear trick for the moment . Going to chase up some after market o rings when I redo the front end . 
Count me in for that Monday ride should be a good day for it as long as the storms keep away .
