I think I blew a fork seal on the left front side of the 954 on Tuesday night. There was a puddle of oil on the floor of my garage this morning. How worried should I be about this? Can I ride on it for a week or so until I get it fixed? Can I damage anything further? Should this be covered under my warranty? How much does it cost to get fixed and how hard is it to fix it yourself?


Thanks

 

Yo ftrain I have no idea about your problem but did you pass me in lowell today by white hen and market basket? I have the same bike as you. When you drove by I waved. Was that you?

 

Yup, that was me. I raced someone down rt 3 today on a suzuki 600.

 

Yeah, you blew it. I'd be carefull stopping fast, cuz it wont. You can ride it but it wont do any stoppies. If you ride it, now the fork fluid is all absorbed into your brake pads. Might as well buy new ones. But it should get you around, remember, rear brake.

 

if the oil is red you blew a fork seal, if your just going out for a ride and not stunting tie a little rag around the fork tug so it absorbs the oil and helps prevent it from getting on your brakes

 

my seals are so blow the front of my bike sits like a low rider. Oil's everywhere - on the tank, wheels, rotors, tire. I still ride it but I would say get it fixed asap.

 

still need help with those seals?

 

I'm sure the last thing that he's worrying about is fork seals.

 

best thing to use on the seals is a bag of marshmallows, I'm sure Kyle would help you out!!
