Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the TNK Replacement Fork Tubes, the front end of the motorcycle must be supported by a triple-tree stand. It is highly recommended to replace your fork seals and bushings simultaneously when swapping tubes, as these wear components should not be reused. Proper torque specifications for the triple clamps and axle pinch bolts must be followed according to the Yamaha YZF-R6 service manual to avoid damaging the new tubes. For maintenance, keep the exposed sections of the fork clean and free of debris to extend the life of your fork seals. Regularly wipe the inner tubes with a clean cloth to prevent grit from causing premature surface scoring.
