Hi guys! At last I have got into this forum! Took a long time, but I think I got here just in time.
I did not see anywhere to post an intro here so I guess this is it for now.
I need to change a fork seal on my '92 TDM 850. From what I read above by Mr Stink Foot, it sounds like I may need more parts.
This looks like it might be more of a pain than doing the Buell fork that I just finished.
I have the factory service manual but do not think highly of it. Most of the pix look like bad, dark, xerox copies. But it has got to be better than Haynes.
I am hoping that I can do this without destroying those teflon coatings on the bushes, as mentioned above.

Question 1:
I assume these are the bushings. Part #'s 14 & 16 in this pic?

I did find this:
http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/index.php?s=&...findpost&p=6164
I will have to read through that a couple times again.

Question 2:
Can I use this method to change the seal without damaging the bushes?

Question 3: Special tools, I think I can fabricate what I need, but not sure what they really look like. The rod holder/puller just looks like a thin spanner. Should be easy to make. Made my own seal driver for the Buell fork. Made other tools too.
Anyone have any good pix of fork parts/ special tools?

Sorry to come on here with a bunch of questions right off, but riding season is about 6 months here & I am needy.
If I can get some help, or be directed to somewhere on this site I would really appreciate it & do my best to give what pay back I can over the net.

I have one of the few TDM's in Alaska. Maybe the only one. Have never seen another. There was one about 200 miles from here but I heard it was sold and went "outside". A term us old Alaskans use. That is anyplace outside Alaska. Mostly the lesser 48 states.

Here is the TDM. Bought used in '01, & it is still pretty much like I bought it.

Me on the Buell with Mad Max's dog. Dog makes the pic. : )

Might as well toss in this one. Moose in back yard, somebody photochopped in the bike for me. I drilled a lot of holes in that Buell.
It is a lot lighter than the TDM. 385 lb / 174.63 kilos with 1/2 tank of, em, er, -- petrol.
