[QUOTE="Archer, post: 1447879, member: 91861"] I removed my forks, dumped the oil, unscrewed RH tube internals complete, same with LH, and began to separate the outer tube from the inner tube. The lower bushings (and maybe middle) moved around and then jammed tight, leaving the tubes still connected but fully extended. This was my fault because I then did the exact thing to second fork tube. I took frozen forks to Yamaha shop on highway just east of Seattle and was told worst case ever. No available solutions. Was also told Yamaha no longer supports the 2013 (A) with available replacement forks (?). Signing into Yamahamotorsports and selecting all parts related to Forks returns message saying contact local Yamaha representative. Searching eBay for used forks has nothing. Seems stupid for me to chase forks off a wrecked bike. My questions for the Forum members, please, are as follow: Firstly, what the Hell should I do? Are new forks anywhere in the U.S. supply chain? Does any member have forks that I could buy? Thank you, fellow members. Archer [/QUOTE]
