Honda shock absorber servicing in Wellington

**hazza1234** · 14th August 2009, 17:23

Hey hey hey
I just rode my new Honda CBR250 down to Wellington from Auckland and have just discovered that my front right shock absorber has had enough of absorbing shocks. It is having a cry. I think it is just a bung seal. Any ideas of where I might be able to get it looked at before I go home on Sunday?

Thanks for the help.

Any bike shop will sort that. You could do it yourself too, it is significantly easier than you would imagine.

Check that the fork stanchion isn't pitted or rusted before you go replacing seals. If there's anything wrong with the stanchion it will just wreck the new seal.

Go to the biggest HONDA dealer you can find, hopefully they will have a new seal in stock for your FORK leg mate
