All Balls Racing Seal Kit for BMW ST F650 GS/GS Dakar F650 ST F650 F650GS/M

These fork seals and dust seals worked great on my 05 SV650 with stock forks.

Not long ago my Hurricane started to mark its spot with a few drops of oil. I originally thought it was a leak from the oil cooler (the oil was very dark and right under where the cooler sits) but a closer inspection revealed a leaking fork seal. Time to pull the front forks... I won't bore you with the details of replacing fork seals. It isn't difficult but is a bit time consuming. I started on a Saturday morning and finished on a Sunday afternoon, but that's only because the shop manual that I have is a generic one that mostly covers the second-gen Hurricanes (SC24). Mine is a first-gen (SC21) and the exploded views are different, which sent me on a wild goose chase looking for parts that didn't exist. I eventually found the correct exploded view online and the forks practically fell together by themselves. If you have the correct documentation, you're reasonably handy, and you can follow a shop manual, you can probably get this done in a single day. My forks had probably never been apart and I suspect that the oil was untouched since my bike left the factory 30+ years ago. As a result, I spent a lot of time cleaning and inspecting parts. I also spend a lot of time making sure everything in the front end was aligned, all threads and threaded holes were cleaned, all the bolts were properly torqued with threadlocker, etc. I also took the time to wash the bike and all of the fairings while everything was apart. All the time spent was worth it. After replacing the seals and the addition of 15W fork oil, the nose of the bike no longer dives to the ground under heavy braking. The front end judders a bit over washboard surfaces so I may switch back to a 10W fork oil to decrease damping a touch, but overall the new seals made a huge difference in how stable the bike feels whenever weight transfers to the front end. This job is doable for the shade-tree mechanic if you have some basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and a floor jack. It's time consuming and messy (especially if your fork oil is as old as mine) but not difficult if you're patient. Take lots of pictures of everything you disassemble because it isn't always easy to remember how cables are routed, the sequence of assembly for internal fork parts, etc. I'm really glad I finally tackled this job. Keeping an old bike on the road takes some work but is rewarding, relatively inexpensive (sometimes), and not particularly difficult (again, sometimes). My Hurricane feels better than it ever did.

No leaks after several months of use. Put on an 05 cbr600rr (they do fit even though Amazon says they don't, look at the manufacturer's site) and they have worked so far. I greased the inside of the seals before install and they have maintained low friction since.

Fits perfectly in my vulcan. Simple job, i do wish there was a kit that came with more of the components and seals/crush washers/o rings etc. I couldn't find one though.

Works great for my 06 gsxr 600 Went rite on no issues no leaks at all done did like 4-5 wheelies and they good would recommend anything from all balls

Puchased for a 2010 honda fury ,did not fit way to small ,not correct description ,wasted my money live and learn

Way better than oem.

I don’t know why but when I’m on the page for these seals a notice pops up saying it doesn’t fit the honda cbr but it DOES! I’ve got them installed and working great on my 05.

Teile io.

Easy install.

Excelente tiempo y calidad

Very very tight fit. Works but. I would say buy the OEM. Not these if you can

Todo muy bien.
