An acquaintance has a 2016 registered XDiavel, the 10th letter of the VIN is a G which denotes the bike was built in 2016. However it has a 1262cc...
This is the stuff I use on the pistons and the seals when rebuilding and when cleaning a caliper. it’s from a company called ATE. [ATTACH]
When you disassembled the forks to change the seals did you back off all the preload before removing the cap?
Preload is set on each fork leg by adjusting the big blue nuts, clockwise screws it in and increases preload, CCW decreases preload. It’s not...
NOK are good seals, I’m fairly sure they make the seals for Ohlins. I’ve forgotten which bike it is and what the forks are, are they Ohlins?
That spacer is there so you can drive the bush in without damaging it. The seal rests against it, but it won’t affect the integrity of the seal...

Did you give it a good clean when it was off? And regrease the cleaned pistons?
I believe @Tally is talking about the rear caliper not the front ones. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong but I’ve never found it easy to get the pin...
Check the other thread on rear calipers, I responded there. It’s unlikely you bent the caliper mounting plate. The disk does run very very close...
It only stays in place once the pin is pushed through. It’s a bugger to get the pin back through :mad: as the spring has to be pushed down in the...
Their different product numbers to indicate the difference between left and right fork bottoms. Unless decent quality seals such as Ohlins, SKF...
