Bob K. Posted August 28, 2018 #1 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I'm ready to put my '93 forks back together and have a couple questions. How deeply do I install the upper slide bush (referred to in the maintenance video as the "upper bushing", official name "metal slide #1", P/N 3JJ-23125-00-00)? The Yamaha maintenance video at 3:38 says to "lightly tap it into place". Do I actually need to use Loctite on the hex bolt to secure the damper rod at the bottom of the outer fork tube? If so, what Loctite version is required...red, blue, some other? Edited August 29, 2018 by Bob K.

Use blue loctite (medium) on the damper rod bolt.

I see that now. There's a perfect recess for it in the top of the outer fork tube and a shoulder upon which it rests.
