'96 Yamaha TT600 Front Fork Seal Replacement

Hi,

I need to replace the front fork seals on my '96 TT600.

I would like to know what amount of fork oil the forks take and what the part number would be for the seals. This is the model with upside down forks.

Also, does anyone know where I could find a service manual for the bike. I have looked on the internet but nothing.

Thanks

No worries, got the manual here: http://www.smokingtailpipes.com/Down...ha_TT600RE.pdf

The problem is the forks in this manual is not upside down like mine. If there is someone out there that can supply the part numbers for the seals and the amount of fork oil needed I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi there,

I only found a manual in german:
Home --> Technik --> TT 600 S/E --> USD Gabelsimmerringe (pdf)

Fork oil TT600S: 542 ml, but I would measure the height of the oil, same hight both forks

Have a Fiche of the bike, could mail it to you.

Let me know if you cant read it.

Cheers Chris

There's a good guide for the TTR over on tt600r.de. It's in German, but with nice pictures:

Thanks eljulian and TTSoli,

That will certainly help and I can decipher a bit of German. The specs etc are important. Sorry for taking so long to reply. The Fiche will be most welcome.
