ST1100 Front Fork seal change

<< < (2/2)

Abe:
I made this to help with the forks:-



It also helped when compressing the spring also.

It also helps when I torqued the end cap as I have bar risers.

basadia:
I have just replaced my fork seals with genuine ones a couple of days ago as my right hand side seal has been leaking covering my break caliper with oil. Today was my first decent ride and have found that the same one is still seeping oil, I'm not sure what to do next as I have done a visual inspection when changed and there were no signs of scoring or pitting on the tube. I have heard lots of suggestions on whether to rub the shaft with fine wet n dry or a fine abrasive like Brasso or similar. I'm not keen to replace the shaft as I would guess that a genuine Honda replacement will probably go for over $300. As I cannot see any obvious reason for the new seal to leak I am a bit perplexed on what to do next.
Open for suggestions?????
tks
Keith
