Front Fork Leaking

Quick question. My front right fork is leaking, and i believe that its nearly collapsed, oil all over everything. What are my repair options? Any info on the rebuild process and where to locate all the parts needed to do it correctly?

You need to replace the fork seals. Do a search on this site and you'll find all you need to know.

 

Look closely at the inner tube for scoring, if the inner is scored new seals won't solve the leaking problem.
I would suggest getting the fork seals from Yamaha, you can find part listings at this site....

Yes definetly get the seals from your yammy dealer!

This is a pretty easy task, I have just did a set.

As well as samsr so if you have any questions please ask and will get you through this and running....



TOP of LIST

1.) manual or cd set

2.)torque wrench


Also if you blown a seal I would be checking my front brake rotor and calipers......

When I blew mine I also had to rebuild them and glad I did.

It even made it easier to push..

Good luck Ridz
