Nonsense. If oil leaked the amount of oil inside is not enough to work properly anymore. Do yourself a favour and change the fork seals.

Hey my bike’s oil has been leaking from a long time i did all of the steps so do i have to refill the oil on the shocker?
@amthedrkale4 ай бұрын
Looks like you'll need to refill the oil and change the oil seal and dust cover. Basically a complete rebuild.

If forks were leaking oil this is useless. You need proper oil amount in each fork. This is for safety in handling.

You are a genius! But sadly this great tip did NOT help me because last month I replaced both seals in my Z1000R and this month I replaced both seals in my YBR125 and THEN I saw your brilliant video!!! Argh! Next time for sure! One observation - rub the edge of your plastic tool with fine abrasive paper to remove the sharpness of the cut plastic so you do not cut or damage the seal :) Many thanks :)

Hi - and thank you for this tip. It certainly seems to have worked. I wonder how many seals need not have been replaced if people tried this first! Interesting as well - I didn't really see much debris on the tool. However it did release a small quantity of fluid which may have flushed out very fine particles. I'm guessing too that the tool helps to reseat the seal. It would be interesting to hear from a seal manufacturer on this. (And then again - if only we could design a 2-piece seal that could be fitted without stripping the forks...! - now I'm already thinking about it!) But what a time & money saver this trick is! Again well done for the idea and the clear instructions.!

I'd not advise using WD-40 as a lubricant if water attraction/retention is not desired. Also, WD-40 is not as rubber friendly as some other lubricants like Tri-Flow which would be much more ideal. Also, if trying this trick, use a very thin and flexible film like vinyl piece. I saw some notebooks or organizers come with section dividers that would work nicely. Also, at the very least, replace the fork oil as the old one is likely to be contaminated with water and gotten thinner, more likely to leak out.

What is the use of wd40? Does it repair the actual leak area?
@amthedrkale2 жыл бұрын
No, it doesn't repair anything. WD40 helps the tool slide in between the seal smoothly.

I don't see the point of that DIY plastic. You could just have used the rug. Also, having the seal fail after only 8k km is a bit unusual for a decent bike. What's the make of your bike, is it chinese?
