Hello, I recently got a 1999 fzs600, not ridden it yet as the front fork seals need replacing

Welcome :thumbup

A quick suggestion: Before you replace the fork seals, have a look at this video as you might be able to fix them for free :)

Replace the (dot) with a full stop as the forum software has problems with YouTube links... :(

Make sure to use OEM or OEM equivalent such as NOK seals. The aftermarket types are generally shite.
