Having trouble finding fork seals for my 94 USD forks
All I’ve been able to find for fork seals are for H series forks. I would like to freshen up the forks, but I can’t find any seals that I’m confident will fit my USD forks. Has anyone been able to find them somewhere reliably?

Are you going for price or quality?

I’d prefer to find something cheap. I’m not really looking to spend 80 bucks on fork seals. I’ve been able to find em for like 30 bucks for a set with other bikes.

OEM oil seals are $10.20 each at Partzilla.

I have no idea when the forks were last opened up, they’ve been working great, I just had em off for a head stem bearing job. Do you think I should go ahead and pick up bushings too though just to be safe?

Re: Having trouble finding fork seals for my 94 USD forks
I know you are trying to be budget minded, but the Technical Touch kit (on eBay) for the 1990 KX125 / KX250 has incorrect oil seals, but the dust seals, inner bushings and outer bushings are the exact same Kawasaki part numbers.
Hold on, let me check something....

Re: Having trouble finding fork seals for my 94 USD forks
You can look on www.kawasaki.com or www.partzilla.com to see that the part numbers are the same on both bushings and the dust seals.
Here's the Technical Touch kit shown in the 2018 catalog. Some aftermarket oil seals showed they fit 1993 - 1994 KDX200 and the 1990 KX125 / KX250, but since the OEM part numbers are not the same, it is not for certain that they are the same.

It may be worth a try. OEM bushings are STUPID high priced. Technical Touch is real KYB parts, the people that Kawasaki paid to make the forks for them (Kayaba = KYB)
I have used and sold several Technical Touch parts over the last ten years. I am fully satisfied.

"Quality seals that stand up to the toughest conditions and last ten times longer than OEM seals
30% less friction than other seals
Smooth stroke due to triple sealing lips
Include fork seals and dust wipers"
