1st Gen Tecate Fork Bushings

[99gsxr750]

Anyone know of a source for them? Search results yielded that early 80's YZ100 are the same, but I can't locate those either.
Thanks,
Mike

Are you sure that is the right part number--I'm not seeing it in the parts diagram. If you are referring to the fork seal, that is still available from Rocky Mountain for $15 each.

Yes, I'm aware that the seals are still available. I'm looking for the fork bushings and according to Bike Bandit that's the manufacturer's number.

Yes that is the number for the bushing . It is show on the 85 pats fiche but not n the 84 one . It is highly unlikely you will ever find them, however, you can have some made.

Yes, yz 100. 82-83. I have used them in all my early tecate legs.

Do you have a part number or source? I can't find one anywhere and I'm having trouble finding the bushings.

[99gsxr750]

Are these the YZ bushings that people have used in the past? Haven't been able to find actual part numbers for the YZ bushings.

Anyone have some insight for me?

[tecat-z]

Local Yamaha dealer can look them right up and order them. They are
made by KYB. 82-83 only that I can vouch for.

[Dirtcrasher]

I would imagine most suspension service shops could source you bushings...

[99gsxr750]

Thanks guys. It looks like I have bigger problems. I just noticed one of the tubes is slightly bent. Anyone have any experience with Franks making new tubes for them? Ugh....I can only imagine how much they charge. Or does anyone have decent tubes for sale?

You can bolt on the 1986 front end to your 85 frame if you have the parts laying around.

Now that I have my forks disassembled, does anyone know of a source for the seal on the internal fork cylinder? It appears it was only available with a new fork cylinder which obviously has been long discontinued.

[barnett468]

welcome back after your long hiatus.

are you referring to the approximately 1 inch long bushings that are on the outside of the bottom of the inner fork tubes?

[99gsxr750]

I need those too. I've been trying to track down a set of 82-83 yz100 bushings without much success, but I'm referring to the little white seal on the fork cylinder. Can be seen here in this ebay auction.

post #83 from this thread

1985 KXT FORK BUSHINGS:

The oem fork bushings are discontinued through kawasaki. But... since these forks are nearly identical to the 1982-83 Yamaha yz 100, the bushings are exact replacements. Yz units are longer and have a bit more travel, but the components in leg are same. Even the oem yz fork seals and dust caps are better quality imo.......Kyb was the supplier for both machines, so this allows me to rebush all of my 85 kxt forks thanks to Yamaha still carrying replacement wear items.
