No, these fork tubes are specifically designed for the Yamaha TDM 850 (1996-2001) and will not fit other models.
Installation requires standard motorcycle repair tools, including wrenches, sockets, Allen keys, a seal driver, and a tool for draining and refilling fork oil. A service manual specific to your Yamaha TDM 850 is highly recommended.
Ensure fork lowers were properly cleaned and that the new fork seals were installed correctly and lubricated. Re-check for any debris on the new fork tube surface where the seal sits.
Verify the correct type and amount of fork oil was used as per the service manual. Ensure the fork tubes are sliding freely within the fork lowers without binding.
Double-check that you have the correct model and year Yamaha TDM 850. Confirm you are attempting to install them in the correct fork lower and orientation.
Setup: Installation of fork tubes requires complete disassembly of the front forks. This involves draining fork oil, removing the old tubes, cleaning the fork lowers, and carefully reassembling with new seals and appropriate weight fork oil. It is highly recommended to consult your Yamaha TDM 850 service manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Compatibility: These fork tubes are exclusively designed for the Yamaha TDM 850 models manufactured between 1996 and 2001. Ensure your motorcycle's model year falls within this range before purchase. The manufacturer part number is 100-0050483.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the fork tubes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or damage the chrome plating. In areas with high salt exposure (e.g., coastal regions), rinse with fresh water after exposure and dry thoroughly.
