750J fork seals. Replacements too thin advice

Post by Backitoff »

Bought some oem replacement fork seals but they are 2mm thinner than the original ones I have removed. Have I bought the wrong ones or is there a 2mm shim that sits on top to take up the gap between it and the Circlip?

Thanks.

The ones that Suzuki supply under their part number are wrong, they need to be 35x48x13.
It won't help you, but I bought mine from this place in Australia and they are exactly the same as my originals made by the same company.

Any idea where I can get replacement circlips for them.
I seem to be struggling with correct size.
My measurements are:
54mm od
47mm I’d
2mm thickness

OK I have managed to get some, and had a lesson on how to measure circlips in the process. My 54mm was way out. 50mm circlips look identical.
The correct way to measure internal circlips is measure the tube that they fit in. Not the groove, apparently that is accounted for.
