Help finding new O-rings

Hi Scotty,
Mikes ain't the only game in town, there's several others.
Or carefully measure the groove's outside diameter and depth and take the numbers to a Hydraulics parts store.

They are still a good Yamaha part number 93210-45150-00

Looks like they have been used on many different motorcycles from the 1970XS1 right through 2013 XVZ13TFSD Venture so finding them should be no problem.

That one still looks good, I would just re-use it. But, you're going to need to clean up those gasket surfaces much, much better than that. A new gasket will never seal against all that crap. Get some paint stripper. Paint a little on, let it soak for 10 or 15 minutes, and all those old gasket remnants will practically melt away. Gentle scraping with even something as blunt as a Popsicle stick will clean it all off.
Kshansen has found the part still exists so I suggest you get the Yamaha part. It can be very difficult to get an exact 3rd party match to o-rings performing a critical function. This is because it is hard to know the exact diameter of the o-ring material. For example you might measure one as 2mm but to work properly it might actually have to be say 1.9mm or 2.1mm.
I would reuse it if it is not damaged. Sometimes they can look a bit wrinkled but a dip in boiling water can take that out. If they are not leaking oil at present then they are probably still good. Also, those o-rings are easy to get at and replace if you later find they are faulty

Thanks for all the replies.. I was able to use the part # and find a new one. The one in the picture is still good, it's the other side of the bike that needs a new one.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
