  • fork assemble

    Hi guys , I finally received my fork seals today .After I took the forks apart I cannot remember how the washer that sits under the seal is suppose to sit . It isn't flat. Is it suppose to turn up or down?

    the raised portion goes up, then the snap ring, and then the dust cover

        I just checked my Yamaha service manual and the SH supplement, it only shows the seal, washer, snap ring, and dust cover. but either way the raised edge would have to face away from the seal. I would put it back in in the order you removed it with the raised edge away from the seal.
