SKF Seals
« on: July 02, 2015, 02:43:42 PM »
Anyone tried these? Any word on if the reduced stiction and longer life is truly better than OEM seals. Apparently they come stock on KTM's WP components.

They're on all my bikes.  I can't tell the difference riding them, but Nick says he can feel a huge difference on the bench just sliding the tubes.  I don't doubt it, SKF knows their shit in everything bearings and seals.

Yes. They are WAY better. I always blow out stock OEM seals. Started replacing them with these, no more problems... Cant notice a difference riding, but as far as quality and lasting longer.... I wont put anything else in my bikes from on  8)

Great product. Here's a little comparison. They are pretty amazing with respect to performance and longevity.

I use them all the time.
Good stuff.

They are guaranteed as well. They have a microscopic camera that will show cuts in the seals if you think that they failed without getting cut. If you send them in they will replace them if they aren't cut.
