FZR400 3tj Forks.

Post by alext »

I have an FZR400 3tj front end of unknown vintage on my bike and I am going to be doing a complete fork rebuild over the winter.

my question is on the bushes... Are ALL 3TJ fork bushes the same over the models life? - I everyone wants me to give a year or exact model before supplying them, and I dont know which year the forks are from.

they are (unfortunately) not the fully adjustable ones - just the standard 3TJ forks.

thanks

ALex.

I think the seals are thicker on the SP so make sure you get standard rr parts.

Might need a little persuading, there's a mm difference in height I think so they will go but they might not!

Well the new seals were taller than the seals I removed, by roughly 1mm funnily enough ;) so maybe the wrong seals were fitted previously. It all went together fine and didnt leak on the ride out today so all is good.
