[QUOTE="hppants, post: 913587, member: 27852"] I just finished my 2005 fork seals. This guide was very useful, with the only difference being that the Gen I forks only have 2 bushings. Also, as described above, order for each fork: Both Bushings - #5 and 3 below Fork Seal - #7 Washer that goes on top of the bushing - #8 Circlip that goes on top of the seal - #9 O-ring for the fork cap - #19 collapsable washer for the bottom bolt - #13 Dust covers - #6 www.partshark.com has excellent prices on these OEM yamaha parts. You will need 3 pints of fork oil, and when full, the 3rd pint will be all but empty. Here's a tip that will help - the spacer (#11) goes BELOW the upper fork tube for re-assembly. In other words, install the spacer FIRST - use a broom handle or similar to center it. The install the upper fork tube with a new lower bushing installed, Then install the dampening rod/piston assy. Then drive the upper bushing. Then install the washer, fork seal, circlip, and dust cover. Otherwise, follow the instruction on this thread - it was very helpful for me. [/QUOTE]
