Fork seals leaking again!!

[ilknascar]

So tranny fluid stop leak fixed your rubber seals? WOW I never would have thought of that. I have the new ones so I am just going to replace them this time but, I will keep your fix in mind if they decide to leak again!

Why not just change out the fluid replacing 1oz of whatever your using in the forks with 1oz of tranny stop leak...Mine were leaking badly 3 years ago and I haven't had a problem with them since.

~O~

Do you remeber the brand you have used? since I rather go with the same brand considering the results you have mentioned.Sometimes products do differ from one another.Thanks for that great idea :clapping: :clapping: by the way :laptop: I have Honda oem seals installed :yes: .

I don't remember the brand, I got the stuff at Autozone if that helps. I used ATF in the forks so the two products would work together as expected.

~O~

Sounds like something I should try. Thanks for the idea!

"No Leak Power Steering Treatment"....works well. Made by the same company that makes the "Stabil" brand of fuel stabilizer. Clear bottle with a gold colored fluid, and a tan label. Can get it at most parts houses.(Pep Gurls, Autozone, etc.) :builder:

I even forgot about power sterring fluid also :doh: which I happen to have somewhere around...I know I have seen a bottle of that thing :good: .Could try that bottle as soon as i find it :headscratch: ,If it doesn't work I'll go to plan "B" which in reality was plan "A" to begin with :fiddle: .Maybe Omegaman can decipher what I'm trying to say :shock: .Will post when I find it,as to what brand it is :swoon: :mrgreen: Thank guys for the ideas :thanks:

seems like every fork seal I'm around leaks ....i guess gravel roads are just too much on seals .....maybe this winter I can figure some way for them to last

A fork boot cover like some of those motocross bikes would keep road debris out and I don't think they would look so odd installed on the bike.I think kinda those Paris-dakar BMW bikes sort off.

yes when i fix the seals im going for something to keep the dust out
