Bjorge, if you are asking me.
The problem I had was, of course, my own fault. Like I said my looong post #80, I did not have the top bush fully seated.
I pulled the 2 fork pieces apart again by just holding them in my hands. I properly seated the upper bush & everything went very smooth after that. Pushed in the dust seal with my fingers, as it should be.
Don't know what to tell you about the part # on the seal you have. 'Cept this:

"My parts list, current as of just a year or so ago, shows the fork seal as part # 3VD-23145-00-00. 3VD is the Yamaha model number for a TDM; 23145 is a fork seal. Your seal # 3GM-23145 is for a 1990 FZR1000."
Well, I had the right seal. Yammie parts often interchange. It measured approximately 10.75 to 10.80 mm thick. Did you measure your seal? Maybe you are having the same problem I had without having top bushing fully seated.
Sadly, I no longer have the TDM. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]
Traded it to a guy last spring in part trade for a smokin hot deal on a fully farkled, low mile. tons of spares, prepaid services, still under warrantee, 2006 Buell Ulysses.
He turned around & sold the TDM in two days for less than I would have. Then he bought a used GS. Boo! Just when I found out a friend wanted the TDM. Bummer.
I never did change the oil or seal in the left fork. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif[/img]
