So my bike has been sitting in my garage for about 4-5 months (long winter). Out of nowhere BOTH my fork seals are leaking like mad... what the ****!? I mean its pretty dry where I am but, is it possible BOTH seals cracked? anyone else heard of this problem? solution, beside the obvious?

 

no idea really but i'd say it was just the cold of winter cracked them

 

What bike is this on, how many miles, how old?


Bushings get worn from riding after 10-15k+ miles, and also dirt helps to blow fork seals out

 

The bike is a 600rr, the seals were replaced middle of last season and should still have lots of life. The bike was in a heated garage and would only move 10ft. pushing it. I guess a drastic temp. change when the garage was opened may have caused it? I dont think the bushings could blow the seals without movment of the forks, right?

 

No idea why they would blow out, unless they were installed wrong..

I'm selling a 41mm Fork seal driver which would fit your bike if you have USD forks. It makes replacing fork seals a breeze. Let me know.
