i purchased new fork seals for my 1992 fzr400 3en2 with the dimensions below but they seem really difficult to get in and they are a wee bit bigger(2mm approx) than the old seal.

43mm x 55mm x 10.5mm

does any one know if the dimensions are correct for my year and model

thanks in advance

jamie

i think the 3tj rr ones are 43 mm x 10.5, the 3en2 are 41mm i/d I believe. double check by measuring the diameter of your fork top!

Jamie,
seeing as how you have an FC badge for an avatar and you have a 3en2 bike you are a fellow Brit would be a good idea if you put your location in your personal profile.

The Americans never had that model so you will have to rely on the British Chapter help you out .

That is correct. The 3en2 also uses the same seals as the UK 93-96 fzr600, which is know as the yzf600 in the US.

Really make a difference to know the standards used. A little difference and it won't fit.
