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.090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/b\u003e 8051513536076\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable class='\"attributesSpecification\"'\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eHeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e9.5\/10.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eInside Diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eOuter Dia:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003e43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"label\"'\u003eType:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class='\"value\"'\u003eTCL\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\u003e130\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 RSV 1000 Mille ME, RSV 1000 Tuono R, RSV 1000 Tuono R Factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' buell models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBuell:\u003c\/b\u003e XB12R 1200 Firebolt, XB12R 1200 Lightning, XB12RR 1200 Firebolt, XB12S 1200 Lightning, XB12S 1200 TT Lightning, XB12STT 1200 Lightning City, XB12T 1200 Ulysses, XB12X 1200 Ulysses, XB9R 1000 Firebolt, XB9S 1000 Firebolt, XB9S 1000 Lightning, XB9SX 1000 Lightning City X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' ducati models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDucati:\u003c\/b\u003e 749 Dark, 749 Monster, 749S, 750 Sport, 990R, 996, 996 Biposto, 996R, 996 R Testa Stretta, 996S, 996 S Tricolore, 996SPS, 996 SPS III, MH 900E, Monster 1000S2R, Monster 1000S4R, Monster 1100 Brembo 4-Pist radial caliper, Monster 1100 Diesel Jeans, Monster 1100Evo, Monster 1100 Evo Anniversary, Monster 1100S, Monster 600, Monster 600 City Dark, Monster 600 Dark, Monster 600SL, Monster 900 S ie, Monster 916, Monster 916S4, Monster 916S4R, Monster 996S4R, Monster 996 S4R SP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' honda models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHonda:\u003c\/b\u003e CB1100 AD, CB1100 AE, CB1100 AF, CB1100 AG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' kawasaki models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKawasaki:\u003c\/b\u003e KX 500E10, KX 500E9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli title='\"Compatible' moto guzzi models\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoto Guzzi:\u003c\/b\u003e Griso 1100, Griso 850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ariete","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57714033983870,"sku":"1800836","price":16.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9191\/9742\/files\/forkseal_01_98184129-3f90-422e-90da-e771a8564869.jpg?v=1784734542","url":"https:\/\/www.motobench.co.uk\/products\/1800836-ari-090-pair-of-fork-oil-seals-43-x-54-x-9-510-5-tcl","provider":"MotoBench","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
