Posted: 15:58 - 24 Oct 2010 Post subject: Fork Seals |
|
|
So, I went to take the bike out today and noticed that the right hand fork was leaking. I removed the dust cover and there is oil sitting above the seal. I'm guessing that the fork seal has gone.
I bought the bike (varadero XL125) from a Honda dealer. My question is, as the bike is just over 3 years old and done 4300 miles will they replace the seal under warranty, or is it gonna cost me a small fortune?
Cheers. ____________________ Yamaha MT-09

The fork seals need replacing now and then, think of them as a consumable.
You could try cleaning the dirt from out of the seal first like shown here which if you're lucky will mean they don't need replacing.
