leaky motorcycle fork seals

[fatdaddy]

I justs finished putting my 2006 Honda 450X dirt bike away for the winter and noticed some oil below both the fork tubes, is this a major process to do by my self or should I just bring it to a shop. Wasn't sure if I need special tools or not, any thoughts.

If you do not have the proper tools and knowledge, you need to bring them to a reputable shop. You could do a lot of damage if you do something wrong in there.

If Bryan at Assylum doesnt work out. Contact Adam at www.midnightmotorcycle.com. His shop is in Hastings. I personnaly know both of them and they do good work.

Thanks guys, I watched a couple of internet videos and decided to NOT do myself, It doens't look that hard, I just think someone with more knowledge would be a better option.

Few yrs back I buddy found himself in a pinch with leaky fork seals on an 03 kaw. I found the seals at a local shop, cut a piece of 2" pvc in half and used it as a seal driver and was back on the bike in about 2 hrs. As long as you are careful and take your time, its not a hard project.
