2002 EC400FSE Ohlins fork seals
 
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.
