Front Fork Seals Leaking A Little
05/27/14 at 08:49:38
I just noticed that one of my front fork seals is leaking a bit. After taking it for a ride yesterday, I noticed a little oil on the fork.
Could that cause the motorcycle to be shaky at highway speeds of 60mph or higher?

Not just from a little weeping... (you'd have to lose 3 or 4 ounces)...
Try one of these tools... (you can make one yourself from a piece of 2 liter soda bottle)..
Stopping a leak is a 2 minute job....

It is barely leaking at all. Maybe I'll spend the whopping $5.00 for one.
Thanks again!

I had an 85 honda magna that leaked oil from the seals i was assuming they would need to be replaced and i had bought new seals but wasnt looking forward to installing them so I made the "seal mate" tool out of a credit card and tryed it and the tool took out some black grime and the seals stopped leaking to my suprize so its worth a try that's for sure.
