XT660Z Front Suspension

[Steve TaylorMember]

Just about to strip down my front forks…

Could anyone help me with the dimensions of the front fork seals. (Need OD/ID/Debth)..??

Also, if anyone has a picture of the damper rod..I need to get my head around the Rebound and Compression holes etc

Any assistance appreciated..

Maybe this helps, its raw footage from a recent Tenere fork overhaul we did at Tekniks for the Kings Tenere.

As for seal sizes etc try your local dealer or Tekniks sell them. You cant measure your old ones?

There is a part 2 to the above video, I will see if I can upload it raw

Thanks TB…

Did a bit of prowling on the Net last night and it looks like “All-Balls” do a seal kit for the XT660Z

Kit No. 55-122 Comprises two Fork Seals (43-55-10.5 mm)

They also do a kit comprising two fork seals and two dust seals

Kit No. 56-135

Both appear to be available on eBay. Not sure if there is an Australian distributor for All Balls that would carry these kits.

Naturally there would be OEM seals available form Yamaha etc

Thanks for posting up the video..most enlightening…I assume Nick has drilled out the Compression holes to give an area greater than the area of the ID of the Damper rod.

You mentioned in the video that he also brazed up a hole. I assume it would be a “Rebound” hole, but cannot see them in the video.

Are there two rebound holes..??
