does anyone know the correct size fork seal for the 1989 model fzr250r. I did some reseach and found out that the fzr250r and the fzr400 have the same size tubes which is 38mm, and the 400 fork seals size are 38mm X 50mm X 8mm. SO iam guessing that the seals would work on the fzr250r forks. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://d-suzume.hp.infoseek.co.jp/foot_siz.htm">http://d-suzume.hp.infoseek.co.jp/foot_siz.htm</a><!-- m --> If iam wrong let me know.
Just to make sure - it is a 3ln model fzr that you have? (1989 bikes can be either 2kr or 3ln - I have a 2kr built in 1989 according to the stampings). If so it looks like you would be correct. If it is a 3ln dealers will sometimes have part numbers available for them - phone and ask. The 2kr forks are the same as on the rz250rr (housemate has one of these so I can confirm that one).
hey boz thanks for the asurety. I know its 3ln becuse it says 3ln all over on the rims engine frame farings LOL thanks again
This is from the fzr400 service manual (page 2-11). Hope something below is what you were after! Front Suspension: Front Fork Travel: 130 mm Front spring free length: 412 mm < Limit > : 408 mm Collar Length: 160 mm Spring Rate: K1: 4.4 n/mm (.5 kg/mm) K2: 6.6 n/mm (.7 kg/mm) Stroke K1: 0.0 ~ 90 mm K2: 90 ~ 130 mm Optional Spring: No Oil capacity>: 444 cm(3) Oil level (full compression): 92 mm (below the top of inner fork tube without fork spring) Oil grade: Yamaha fork oil 10wt or equivelant
hehe Thanks Boz They are much the same as the 3LN arnt they. Maybe alittle more better. I wouldnt mind putting them on my 3LN. Might alow better corner speed
no worries - to be perfectly honest I had no clue what I was quoting there! All I knew is that I was repeating the specs from the manual.
haha Hey Boz Hahahaha cool man. Hey could you tell us what ya avatar is it looks like a guy in leather+helmet on a kids play toy?????? Ive meant to ask you before lol Cheers Jarmizz
I thought it was a pic of Boz about to drop his bike??? <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: -->
I have never dropped my bike, and only close once (while using a impact driver to take the tank cover off...). If I were to drop my bike I will do it in style: And about my avatar - you are correct: motorcycle guy on kids play equipment. Caught my fancy when I found it, so I made it my avatar. Below is a better quality image:

Have you seen the cintered knee pads that you can get for leathers? That way when you get your knee down on the pavement there are sparks being left behind. Never had my knee down, and scraped the hero knobs only twice, for that matter don't even have knee pads on my pants, so this is second hand experience (vids on bikemovies.com)
lol Man the CBR600RR is being delt to hahahahah good old Superbike mag test riders thrashing bikes. That Avitar is a laugh Boz, good work!!!! Ive touched my pegs afew times and scrape my shoes all the time when I ride up the local hill lol
