Divvy 900 Forks

[blackpig]

My left leg is leaking, had two new fork seals in and it started leaking again within a hundred miles, on both occasions.

I am probably looking at a new stanchion, however, before I go down that route, can anyone tell me;

1. Are there aftermarket alteratives, I have tried but have drawn a double blank

2. Do the Divvy 600 forks fit (Twin disk version) as there seems to be a plethora of 600's forks available 2nd hand.

3. Anyone know of suitable or better alternatives. I do find the forks a wee bit 'plush'

Thanks all

Buster

600 forks legs won't fit as a direct replacement for the 900 ones. Not sure if they are the same diameter or length, but the caliper mounting points are definitely different. I think the head races are the same so in theory you might be able to use 600 yokes, legs, brakes and front wheel.

The cure for plushness is alternative springs with a higher rate (Hagon?) and/or 15-grade oil. Simply increasing the preload makes a slight improvement (allegedly).

I just googled "motorcycle stanchions yamaha"

shop.wemoto.com/index.dyn?oid=2147991 both stanchions and progressive springs here. I've used Wemoto before, provided good service, i ordered pattern parts, these were out of stock, so they gave me genuine Honda parts.
