Need help finding RZV500R front fork parts....

#1 Post by busa1300 » Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:17 pm

I am rebuilding my front forks for a RZV500R
They have rubber o-rings to seal the air pressure into the forks, and keep oil from leaking out.
part number 15R-23188-00-00
The bike uses 4 of them, and 2 of mine are not reusable....I've searched for the part number online and have found nothing so far.
Anyone have an idea where I could get a couple of these seals?

These are not RZV500R forks, but they have the exact same air/oil pressure seals at top of forks.... #42 in picture below.

Found the seals at Boats.net. Pricey though.

Boats net says not available.....
Which means unavailable ever, from what I have found....

Get the dimensions and then use any o-ring supplier you like. There is nothing special about it other than the fact Yamaha doesn't have it. You may already have something in your shop that will work.

That could be my last case scenario...the seals are very thin in dimension....not sure if I could measure rubber that small properly.
The only outlet anywhere close to me, has given me the wrong parts a few times already with their own poor judgement on dimensions....
