How And The Hell To Change Fork Seals.

Talk to your local motocross shop rather than a bigger chain place. They're not to hard but you need certain tools like a fork seal driver, oil syringe (inverted forks). Also, you need to know what weight oils to use.

how much does it cost to have someone do it?

Royal Pain in the A$$!!! Your gonna need some special tool that you can get @ your local MC shop. The tools wont cost much compared to what a shop will charge ya. It'll also be a good investment if your gonna continue to stunt. Call your MC shop get the tool and a repair manual for your bike call a couple buds get some beer and do it on the weekend. PS tell your buds not to make any plans cause it's gonna take you about 6-8 hours doin it the first time depending on how much beer you drink. with 3 people ita abuot a half keg jou which is about 4 hours for me and my friends.

Good luk

question,ive had 100% blown out seals..no oil in them and i prolly slammed 4500 hard stand ups down like that..my handling sucks and its eating up front tires but i cant come up with $$$ to have them fixed haha
so im wondering if all that ^ abuse ****ed up something else in there or should it be ok when i get the seals rebuilt?

Can you blow your fork seals on 2nd gear standers if you know how to land them? Like for instance when I wheelie and I let it down, I always go off the throttle, then go on it again before it hits the ground that way I'm always on the throttle when it lands instead of having engine braking slam it into the ground.

Check your head bearings. Actually, just replace them. Its not to hard a job, contact your dealer or buy the manual. When they get loose headshake becomes a problem.

ok i have the front end takin apart which wasnt so bad. oh yeah the beer idea rocked. a lot of people are saying wy i have the front end off i should put in some aftermarket suspension. any ideas if this is a good idea and what kind and setup?

inolen

Yes, so quit stunting.

FHL

Yeah I probably will, but I've heard endos hurt your fork seals more.

sucking at wheelies hurts them more
