tells you how to do the seals.. %26amp; lots moreYamaha diversion 900 xj forkseals help?Should be no harder to change than any other fork seals. The one thing you will need is a set of fork seal drivers.



Everyone tries (but fails) to use a hammer and a flat head screwdriver. That just ends up costing you a new set of seals.



You can buy a very good set of fork seal drivers for about $50 or so. And they work on many diameter forks. TR15-8123 is the pat number you need.



The 600 XJ seals are not compatible with the 900 though. Fork seals will run you about $40 by themselves, or $75 with the sweepers. Skip the sweepers, you just don't need to replace those unless the rubber is falling off of the forks..Yamaha diversion 900 xj forkseals help?Buy a Haynes manual that will show you how to do it.Yamaha diversion 900 xj forkseals help?For seal drivers I used an appropriate piece of PVC pipe. Worked great to seat the fork seals. For the procedure itself you really do need to invest the $30 or so for the Clymer's manual. Cheap insurance.Yamaha diversion 900 xj forkseals help?The 600 XJ forks should work fine. If you have never done fork seals before, it's not really a DIY job at home, unless you have the specialty tools needed, and a way to lift the front of the bike (like a stand or a jack) and some sort of insight of working on forks. It would be easier for you to use the 600 forks, or take yours into a shop and have them rebuilt there.
