Aaron is right. To use a chemical like that to Band Aid a leak is crazy. Spend the money and replace the seals and change the fluid. I'm doing mine myself this weekend. It's not that difficult.

Personally I wouldn't go near a bike with that stuff. Maybe as a temporary emergency fix to get me home, but that's it. Leaking fork seals can be a really dangerous thing to leave to a $6 can of spray sealer. It's leaking for a reason, it'll leak again.

I wish I would've seen this earlier, I'd offer to do it for you and save you a bunch of money, but I can't until next weekend now.

It's not a chemical, it's a "tool". I use a very thin feeler gauge or we used to use 35mm film (negatives). I would imagine a playing card would work too.
I always try cleaning them before replacing. I have good success with the cleaning but some times they just need to be replaced.

Too funny!! Where do people get their info?!?

Kim's WR had a tube leaking, ran a feeler gauge around the tube, no more leak. That was over five years ago.

I may or may not have had anything to do with it.

It's Scott's magic fork sealer in a can. Just one spray and it seals those babies up tighter then a nuns legs!

Damn it Kyle.

We saw a couple trucks with your stickers this last weekend on our way to the sand hills. I've seen them around town, but it was cool to see them that far away...

[Jmetz]

It's what I do.

I saw my first one on Sunday while sitting in traffic on I-25 out of the Springs. It was cool to see.

How did you like the Walden dunes?

Actually, it was pretty cool. I would definitely go back. We were wishing we hadn't sold our quads, though!!! There was some stuff for the dirt bikes, but not a lot.

Had a blast with the RC trucks and Kim's quad-copter has lights, so you can fly at night. I was flying over every one's camp and people loved it. It totally looks like a UFO with all the red a blue and other LEDs. Brought the smoker and smoked up some chickens and 4" thick rib-eyes with cherry wood. DAMN!!!! That was good!!

All-in-all, an excellent trip!!!
