F800GS Fork Seal Replacement and Touratech Spring Upgrade

5 years ago

Replacing the fork seals with SKF fork seals is a great way to make your F800GS reliable off road when the trail gets rough. Upgrading the fork springs with Touratech Progressive fork springs really helps with fork dive and bottoming and makes the bike handle better than stock.

NOTE:
Below are the links for the two kits offered by Touratech. If you ride off road, I highly suggest using the heavy duty kit. I originally went with the standard F800 kit and bottomed out just as easy as stock. The standard kit does take away the fork dive, but only for street. In my opinion, they are still way to soft and the Heavy Duty kit is a dramatic difference and way better for off-road use.
