FAQs

Are these fork tubes sold as a pair?

TNK fork tubes are typically sold individually; please verify your specific order quantity.

Can I install these myself without special tools?

It is not recommended. Fork work requires a spring compressor and specialized oil-level measuring tools to ensure safety and performance.

Do these tubes come with internal springs?

No, these are the outer fork tubes only and do not include springs, damping cartridges, or seals.

Will these fit a 2017 YZF-R6?

No, these are specifically designed for the 2009-2016 model years.

How do I maintain the chrome finish?

Keep the tubes clean of road grime and salt, and avoid using abrasive cleaning pads that could scratch the chrome.

Troubleshooting

Fork oil leaking immediately after installation

Verify the fork seals were seated properly and that there are no nicks in the new tube surface during installation.

Stiff or binding suspension travel

Check that the fork tubes are aligned correctly in the triple clamps and that the axle is not causing a twist in the lower legs.

Unusual clicking or noises during compression

Ensure all internal damper components were installed with the correct amount of suspension fluid and that all bolts are tightened to the factory torque specification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality nickel chrome plating for long-term durability
  • Precise fitment for specific Yamaha YZF-R6 model years
  • Effective restoration of front-end suspension integrity
  • Matches OEM functional standards for reliable performance

Cons

  • Requires professional-level installation expertise
  • Does not include seals or bushings
  • Demands specialized motorcycle suspension tools for safe assembly

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.
