First: I am not endorsing the product or trying to promote or sell anything since I didn't buy it.... i did use the idea and made my own.
My right for seal was leaking and I figured why not try this out since it can't hurt right? I watched a couple of youtube videos on it and decided space monkets could do it so I went into the garage and cut the shape out of an old plasticy folder (thin one) and gave it a go. I followed the info videos I watched and didn't think it worked at first.
Right after you sweep the seals the oil leaks out a bit before it reseats. FYI all the pics are for dirtbikes and on my bike I didn't "move the dust shield" I just pushed it up past both seals). Well I did it last night and took the bike out today. It was a little weapy when I left and did a couple of wheelies (in a non populated 2 lane road with no traffic of course) to seat the seals. Stopped at a gas station to wipe the seapage from the begining of the ride then rode home (15-20 miles).
GUESS WHAT!/? forks are completely DRY! I'm not saying it is a mirracle product and i'm sure people have been doing it for a long time but just wanted to share my ellation with you guys. Got leaking for seals? try this first!
