Title: Fork seals how anal are mot guys and how anal should i be
Post by: psyfi_1 on 17 April 2018, 05:35:47 pm

i did my seals some time last year it wasnt perfect but they wherent bad


cant give any picks............ no camera and no smart phone

the forks are not wet  but there is ever so slight a ring if you stood back from it you probably would not see it

all the fork oil is still there there doesnt seem to be any loss of oil after like 5 months

i used a fork seal mate to just give them a go over but i had never done for seals before

basicly just need some adivice so when i go get me mot done i am not loosing money....... i am always poor

Give them a good wipe before you head out for the MOT and hopefully the tester will just ignore it.
If they are weeping though, the level wont go down much at all for a very long time. You should still get them redone though.

Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago , I have a very small weep in one leg , I pulled up just around the corner from the MOT station and gave it a quick wipe before going in , no problem and no comments   ;)

Even better, lift the dust seals around the corner and dry it completely. It will be fine I’m sure.
