Fork Seals, Pike to Boxxer.

trigger118

Hi all,

I'm about to service my 2012 Boxxer RCs and dont seem to have any replacement seals for them (thought they came with the forks when you bought new but cant find them). I do however have the spare set of seals from my 2013 Pikes. Will these fit in the Boxxers? I understand that the Boxxer and the Pike have the same stantion size but I dont know enough about the internals to know if this possible. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jon

Same stanchion diameter then yes.

Fork seals are just generic seals with some tailoring (or not) to the usage, so they use Industry standardised sizing for the lower section.

Thats great thanks,

Will give it a go today and see how it looks

Some Boxxers run a double seal with a oil seal under the wiper seal, have a look and see whats in the Pike pack and if there is grey seal and a black one.

The BoXXers have different oil seals and a deeper recess for them to sit in. The foam seals are thicker as well.
Only the dust seals are the same.

Thanks everyone, you are indeed correct of course. They are different, it was worth a go! Have since ordered the correct seals though. Thanks
