Hi all, forks leaking again, stupid cheap seals is what I blame them on. What do you guys use for your bikes, what works and what doesn't. Need a good set of fitting fork oil seals, the names of them anyway. Got an 06 yamaha dt125re. Thanks lads! :)
I think sometimes it can be down to minor chips / scratchs on your forks. If this is the case they will always end up leaking after a few rides. Otherwise there could be play on one of the bits inside the forks (bush?) in which case you can throw as many different quality seals as you want at it but it'll do no use until that play has been sorted.
Can't go wrong with oem seals, I replaced the 450 ones a while ago, literally within an hour they were leaking again lol cheapy ones off ebay. Got another set, couldn't tell you what they were, just that they were red lol but they're going strong still.
thanks for the reply guys, I have bought some seals from Lancashire seals, if they leak I will go for OEM. Dont really wanna buy them though cos they're 15 excluding the dust seals! :(
