Fork Seals

[PrimePerformance]

Anyone know how hard it is to replace fork seals and oil? or if there is a hot to somewhere on here? All the help be greatly appreciated

Its easy. I used a screw driver to pull the old fork seals out then used the old ones to hit the new ones in with a hammer.

How hard is it to remove the front forks to do this? assumeing mine will be easier becasue of not having front brakes or anything but a speedo cable

It's all in your repair manual. You do have one, right?

I actually dont never thought about it do they make like a haynes manual like they do for cars?

Yes, Haynes makes them as well as Clymer. You can shop around on Ebay and find Yamaha factory manuals.
You will find a repair manual the most important tool you own.
