2002 EC400FSE Ohlins fork seals

[snoopjonnyjon]

Does anyone know off hand if the fork seals on my 02 FSE Ohlins would be common with another bike? When I've bought seals for my big 4 Jap bikes, the packages usually show the seals fitting a whole bunch of other models. It's not a big deal if I have to purchase from a distant GG dealer, but figured if they happened to be a common seal with a more common bike, I could just get them in town.

Kayaba 46 mm seals. Vintage mid nineties Kawis and Hondas. The Moose ones have a little more stiction but are durable as hell and dont cost $70.00.

Oh that is fantastic. That means they are even going to be common with my 98 KX500. I should keep a spare pair on hand at all time if it fits these both. I put "All Balls" seals in my KX this winter. I've got maybe half a dozen hard rides and they are starting to sweat just a little already. No drips, but the tubes seem damp with oil. The GG totally blew out yesterday, and should probably be changed before riding much more.

Thanks a lot for your help.

IF they leak regularly even after seal changes your looking at worn out bushings.

I think you are right. The coating did look a little worn on the bushings. I was planning to change them this time anyways. BUT, I was unaware that could have been the cause of my seals leaking.
