FZS600 Fazer / Fork breather?
« on: 01 July 2019, 01:00:54 pm »
Hi folks, not been on here for ages but have now the need to ask a question of the great and wise. Is there a breather hole anywhere on the front forks? I ask because I've got a leaking right hand fork leg but not when being ridden, only when it gets hot. I keep it in a sort of mini-conservatory so it gets quite warm in there and after a couple of days of sunshine I found this
That's fork oil and it's dribbled down the fork leg, over the caliper, pads and disc and dropped onto the wheel. It's only the RH leg and has only appeared since we got hot weather. So is there a breather somewhere that has got blocked so as the temperature goes up, the pressure in the leg increases and is pushing the oil out past the seal rather than through a breather?
