Skf front fork oil seals + dust seals Kayaba 48mm size 48 x 58 x 8,5 / 10,5

This seal kit includes one oil seal and one dust seal. Two Packages will be needed to do a full service on both forks.
SKF seal kits for motorcycle forks consist of an oil seal and a wiper seal developed to achieve superior sealing performance.
As a result of SKFs extensive experience in the design and mate- rial development of seals for suspension systems, SKF has devel- oped a new self-lubricating compound. The design and performance characteristics of the sealsmade from this compound enable them
to keep oil in and contaminants out of the fork, while virtually elimi- nating stick-slip and improving performance by reducing friction.
To get the most out of your bike, both seals should be replaced.

Laboratory tests verified that SKF fork seals reduce friction by more than 20% and keeping it constant during the operation. Stick-slip was also reduced when compared to standard seals. Diagrams 1 and 2 show the load distribution over the stroke of the fork (spikes represent vibrations) and the value of the friction generated by the seals during operation (force) both in the case of chrome plated and hard coated rod. In field tests, riders experienced a much smoother feeling that results in better accuracy and more comfort.
