DescriptionThe whole story▼
Manufactured by NOK, one of the world's most respected seal engineers, the K-Tech DSS-005 dust seal kit delivers factory-level fork protection for the Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015–2018). These are direct OEM replacements — precision-dimensioned to keep contamination out of your fork legs and your suspension performing exactly as intended, ride after ride.
Key Features
- NOK-manufactured seals: globally recognised for seal quality and longevity, trusted by OEM manufacturers and professional race teams alike.
- Direct OEM replacement: dimensioned to precisely match the original Yamaha YZF-R3 fork specification — no modification or adaptation required.
- Effective contamination barrier: prevents dust, grit and road debris from entering the fork internals, protecting slider surfaces and oil seals from premature wear.
- Extended suspension service life: by keeping abrasive particles out, the seals reduce internal wear rates and lower long-term maintenance costs.
- Simple fitment: engineered specifically for the 2015–2018 YZF-R3, so installation is straightforward for any competent workshop.
Quality and Engineering
NOK is a tier-one sealing technology supplier to the global automotive and motorcycle industries — their compounds and dimensional tolerances are held to the same standards as original equipment parts. The K-Tech DSS-005 kit uses this technology to ensure the dust seals seat correctly, flex without cracking at low temperatures and resist hardening over time. A failed or degraded dust seal allows fine particles to score the chrome slider tube and accelerate wear in the oil seal behind it; replacing these seals at the correct service interval is one of the most cost-effective forms of fork maintenance available.
Installation Note
This kit is designed exclusively for the Yamaha YZF-R3 in model years 2015 to 2018. K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre to ensure correct fitment and to guarantee both safety and suspension performance after reassembly.
