Bucket update

[Wasp]

looks like the weathers gonna be good but a wet track

Does anyone know any tricks to stop fork seals leaking WITHOUT replacing them? The FXRs are really bad, but haven't effected the handling yet, so im not gonna replace em.

Yeah just replace them with broomsticks.

Lol mine leak quite bad too.

I pull the dust cover off the top then use a triangle cut slice of ice cream tub lid to pull all the crap out of the seal.

they still leak but not enough to worry its only the bucket

yer it dosen't effect the handling or anything it just drips on the front disc and I have to wipe them before scruitineering.

I might pull them off and have a look.

You got that right! I wouldn't imagine them to be too expensive, but being "Genuine Suzuki Parts" they probably are.

[Sketchy_Racer]

The seals themself arent that expensive.

But unless you can replace them yourself, it will get very expensive really quick!!

It wouldn't be that hard....

What you can do is lift the dust cap and tie some rag around the top of the fork seal, then replace the dust cap. Replace the bits of rag as required.
