Uses a graphite-rich compound with resistance to abrasion, to high temperatures, and more complex lubricants with numerous additives\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eARI- THE ORIGINAL FORK OIL SEALS, custom-made for your fork\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAriete fork oil seals are different! The quality of their execution is matched by the unique nature of the material used: the carboxylated elastomer known as XNBR.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis compound offers unique characteristics of resistance to abrasion, to high temperatures, and to the complex lubricants with numerous additives, which are used in modern forks as fitted to motorcycles and scooters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reciprocating action of the fork tube against the seal subjects it to a notable degree of abrasion, which is complicated by the heat generated as a result of hydraulic displacement within the fork, plus the friction of the components involved. This mechanical wear and tear leads to accelerated ageing of the rubber which is also obliged to deal with the chemical action of the various additives in the lubricant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOil seals are normally made from a nitrile rubber, known as NBR. This is used because it is cheap, and plentiful, not because NBR is the best material for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAriete technical staff have accumulated 70 years of experience in the rubber industry, and have spent many years looking for a better material for the manufacture of oil seals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the cost of XNBR is almost twice that of NBR, the sophisticated technology used to make Ariete oil seals enables them to be put on the market at highly competitive prices. In this way, the Ariete Customer enjoys the benefits of a very high quality product, which satisfies the most demanding requirements, at a competitive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARISIL special oil seal lubricant ARI fork oil seals are made from a rubber compound specifically developed to work with the lubricants used in front forks, with all their various additives. This compound is completely different from that normally used for rotating shaft seals, since the physical environment inside a fork with its reciprocating movement, and the specialist lubricants, are completely different. Ariete have designed ARI oil seals with a variety of lip profiles to make them longer lasting, while reducing to a minimum the friction effect against the moving shaft. Over the years, Ariete have discovered the key role of a separating lubricant between the fork tube and the rubber of the oil seal to reduce to a minimum the surface friction, without affecting the function of the oil seal. After exhaustive testing, Ariete have chosen a lubricant which is produced in the USA, and devised specifically as a rubber\/metal lubricant for mechanical components used in the NASA space program. The advantage of this special grease, which they call ARISIL, is that it extends the life of the oil seal, and helps it retain its vital characteristics of flexibility and chemical resistance. For this reason, every set of ARI FORK OIL SEALS contains a single dose sachet of ARISIL, sufficient to lubricate the two oil seals supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer Part No. (MPN):\u003c\/b\u003e ARI.057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/b\u003e 8051513535772\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable class='\"attributesSpecification\"'\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eHeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eInside Diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e41\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eOuter Dia:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e53\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eType:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003eDR2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFitment Summary\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with \u003cb\u003e212\u003c\/b\u003e models (yearly).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class='\"fitmentsummary\"'\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' aprilia models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAprilia:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegaso 125, Pegaso 650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' gilera models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGilera:\u003c\/b\u003e GP 800 Twin Spark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' honda models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHonda:\u003c\/b\u003e CR450 RB, FJS400 A1, FJS400 A2, FJS400 A3, FJS400 A4, FJS400 A5, FJS400 A6, FJS400 A7, FJS400 A8, XR350 R, XR350 RD, XR350 RE, XR350 RF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' kawasaki models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKawasaki:\u003c\/b\u003e EX 400 Ninja, EX 400 Ninja KRT Edition, GPZ 1000RX, GPZ 1100E F, GPZ 900R, GTR 1000A1, GTR 1000A10, GTR 1000A11, GTR 1000A12, GTR 1000A13, GTR 1000A14, GTR 1000A2, GTR 1000A3, GTR 1000A4, GTR 1000A5, GTR 1000A6, GTR 1000A7, GTR 1000A8, GTR 1000A9, KR1 250B1, KR1 250B2, KR1S 250C1, KR1S 250C2, KR1S 250C3, KR1S 250C4, Z 1300A1, Z 1300A2, Z 1300A3, Z 1300A4, Z 1300A5, ZG 1300A1, ZG 1300A2, ZG 1300A3, ZG 1300A4, ZN 1300A1, ZN 1300A2, ZN 1300A3, ZN 1300A4, ZN 1300A5, ZN 1300A6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' piaggio models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePiaggio:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly 400 Euro 3, Beverly 400 Tourer Euro 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' suzuki models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuzuki:\u003c\/b\u003e AN 400 Burgman, AN 400 Burgman ABS, DR 650SE, DR 800S, DR 800Z, GSF 600 Bandit, GSXR 250C, GSXR 250D, GSXR 250R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' yamaha models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYamaha:\u003c\/b\u003e DT 2002LR, DT 200R, DT 200WR, FJ 1100L, FJ 1100N, FJ 1200 1WH 3CX, FJ 12003CX, FZR 1000 EXUP, FZR 600R, SZR 6604SU, TRX 850, WR 200E, WR 200F, XT 600E, YZF 750SP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ariete","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57714029298046,"sku":"1800450","price":15.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9191\/9742\/files\/forkseal_01_e9e5ff5f-4e56-4e3c-aa0f-d058ad5cdbbc.jpg?v=1784734494","url":"https:\/\/www.motobench.co.uk\/products\/1800450-ari-057-pair-of-fork-oil-seals-41-x-53-x-810-5-tcl","provider":"MotoBench","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
