Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fork it! (Upper fork bushing)
« on: 20 July 2022, 05:06:00 am »
Hey peepz
Im replacing the oil, seals and bushings in the forks of my '02 1000, i have done seal replacements and rebuilds more times than I ever should have had too (wheelies can get expensive) with all my bikes over the years without many issues UNTILL NOW!
when putting the forks back together and driving the seals home, the outter/upper fork guide bushing is not going into its recess in the fork lower properly, which obviously stops me from setting the seal properly and installing the retaining clip.
Everything seems straight and square it just will not fit. The bushing was even put in the freezer the help with installation.
The bushes were ordered from brook suspention (NOX brand), far as im aware the parts are correct and are the new spec bushes that supersede yamahas original spec.
Lower/Inner/slide BUSHING
Thickness 1.00mm
Outer diameter 43.70mm
Inner diameter 41.70mm
Hight 20.00m
Upper/Outter/guide BUSHING
Thickness 2.00mm
Outter diameter 43.00mm
Inner diameter 47.00mm
Height 12.00mm
Anyone had an issue with these sizes or brand.
