Thanks Steve.
I did not measure the old vs new seal other than to hold them & set them together. They were the same. Or so I thought. Would have also thought that I could see or feel the diff of aprox 1/32"=.0313"= 0.79502mm. Now not so sure. Can't really tell much diff now when I put them on the counter together.

I have been using the old seal to install the new one. Sanded off most of the rubber on old one so it would not stick into the slider. Then sanded off all of the outside rubber when things did got go right. So the numbers are gone along with the top & bottom side of the rubber (neoprene is to hard to spell) Therefore old one is not as thick as it used to be. New seal, the other new seal, that is indeed same as the one I installed is 10.78mm thick. Old one is 10mm ± with most all the rubber gone. Just the additional distance that I need to get the dust seal in. Hmm--?

Numbers on new seal = BR4642E NOK 3. Fork upper is 40.89mm dia. So those #'s do not seem to relate.
I can see the last letters left on the old seal, MM. Nothing like that on the new seal.
New seal part # is 3GM-23145-AO

Interesting about the spring. Yeah, I know they are progressive. Tight on top somehow makes sense. Maybe someone has been in here before.

Yes, thanks Steve , I have read that here & will be measuring the oil level. My book says 165 mm, or 6.5".
BUT--
This post says:
http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/index.php?s=&...post&p=6882
Just for completeness, here's the fork oil levels for the various models of TDM's:
Model, Year, Volume, Level
TDM850, 91-95, 395cc, 151mm
TDM850, 96-on, 515cc, 130mm
TDM900, 02-03, 507cc, 133mm
TDM900, 04-??, 545cc, 127mm

Mine is a '92. More conflicting info. Steenking book! Maybe I'll split the difference, 158 mm. ?? [Image: ranting.gif]
But have read here that lowering it by 10mm was better. 141mm? !55mm? WTF?!
Just talked to Yammie shop. No real help. Part # has been superseded 3 times. Part I have is the second.

I think I will try pounding that seal down one more time after taking careful measurements before then after. I think it is all the way down. If it don't move I am going to leave out the clip & even trim the bottom of the dust seal a tiny bit.
Nothing to lose at this point, It should work & I have parts on order for the other side.

Anybody got known correct old/new seal handy to measure the thickness? Different part #?
