Stock WP seals are good, or SKF. Any KTM dealer should have in stock. Stay away from the cheap Moose Chineese stuff.

I have to give a shout out for Synergy.

Rob is an awesome guy, he has called me back on the weekend to answer questions or help with installation wisdom. Plus I think that he is riding a Gasgas now.

I used them on my KTM. The forks went through seals on a pretty regular basis, then I installed his seals and never changed them again. Plus they are pretty slick (eliminating stiction).

Give Synergy a call and see what they can do.

which seals did you use?

I recently fitted the flexible ones in my sachs forks and they involved a lot of swearing to get them in!! didn't help that the first time i got them in i realised i had forgotten to slide the dust seal onto the tube before the seal went on DOH!!

eventually got them on, but cannot comment on stiction yet since i have only managed about 2 hours on the bike since i fitted them (they felt very tight just trying to slide the tube in and out during reassembly, but smooth). getting the dust seal in place would not be possible with the forks fitted to the bike so i will not be doing any cleaning or maintenance of them unless i am servicing the forks

Do you guys have seal drivers or do you use some other way? I'we done a few seal jobs and I always find it kinda hard to drive the seals in, and also usually involves some, or alot of swearing :0

i have a home-made seal driver from some pvc plumbing pipe, but you cannot use them on the flexible synergy seal - well not the way you normally do. The hard part about the flexible seal is actually just getting it in the first part of the upper tube, after that it is not so hard

I've made and used my own seal drivers but the best I've used yet is the Motion Pro "ringer" seal driver. Stays locked around the fork and heavy enough to use as a slap hammer for the tight fitting seals like in the Zoke 45s.

The flexible seals were by far the hardest I have ever installed. I don't even want to tell anyone how long the first fork leg took me. The second was considerably faster.

Once they were in they were magic, very low stction and lasted for years on my KTM. I actually just bought a set for my Gasgas.

There is a YouTube video out there to watch also.
