Fazer Fork Seals

[janner_10]

After giving the fazer a bit of a clean at the weekend, I noticed some oil on the forks - which I can only guess is a leaky oil seal.

Looking through the service manual and some good vids on youtube - replacing them doesn't seem too bad.

Any other fazer owners recall any pitfalls to be wary of?

Thats nowhere near an oil leak...

If I saw that amount in the morning I'd rejoice.

So yes, you can leave that for a while yet.

Just wipe that off, thats general shite nothing to worry about.

You'll know when your fork seals are leaking, if you run your finger round the dust seal and you can visibly see grease on your finger afterwards they are shot.

That just looks like the general swept up crud ring.


Either way, you cans safely ignore until they leak properly.
