When do you replace the fork seals in a motorcycle?

Answer by  palmerino (637)

You will want to look at the forks... where the silver part is, you will need to see if there is oil on it. If there is oil on this part, then the oil is leaking and you will need to replace the seals. Really no need to repace the seals before they go bad, but you should replace the oil.

Fork seals wearout over time and will leak fork oil more and more. Once leaking, you should schedule their replacement. Leakdown causes no damage, but handling will suffer.
