Title: Fork Seals Advice Please
Post by: Duffy1964 on 29 June 2015, 02:21:38 pm

Hi I have recently purchased a 2006 FZ6 that had been standing for 5 years, I got it running and MOT passed and have had 300 fun miles so far.
Today I noticed one of the fork seals leaking, they have probably gone brittle due to being left standing a while.

Are these an easy fix and is there a link on here to show them dismantled and refitted or possibly a manual that I can download?

Cheers Duffy

Have a look in the downloads section Duffy, there's free downloads of manuals for most models  :D

you can try this first, not tried it myself but it might be better replacing the seals as its not a big job.  https://youtu.be/8wlzfoVroSY

Damn, I wish I'd known about that before I paid to get one fixed after it failed the MOT :(
