Can you fix leaky forks for free?

How to clean out fork seals (for free). Make your own tool out of scrap plastic to scrape fork seals and (hopefully) slow down or eliminate any seal leaks.
This technique works when dirt or debris is caught under the seal lip, holding it off the fork tube and allowing oil to leak out. The tool helps to clean the debris out. It will not save fork seals that are damaged.

I rarely comment on youtube, but you just saved my bacon (and money), and i am extremely grateful for that. I just bought a used crf250l, and one fork started leaking on the way home. I was already stressed about having to spend even more money on the bike, but this fixed it completely! Lets just hope the fix lasts!

[@RayA-oo4lv]

Man, thanks so much.

[@grmacbean]

Works a treat. Popped dust seal off, cleaned it. Then wiped out excess fork oil, slipped in the "tool" and whizzed it gently around. Pulled out the dirt and grime and did this twice. All sorted! Now going to take bike for MOT!

[@MrAusadventure]

Holy crap! Thanks mate. This video saved me today big time!

[@sudiplimbu8218]

Matt, its really amazing. Just a use of a common sense and saved huge expenses.

[@markfarmer36]

Just tried this on my F800s worked like a charm. Thanks for the upload mate, I was just about to strip down my forks👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@Mike-mz9cm]

This worked. I likely need new seals soon (26000 km) but it was leaking enough to put a puddle on the floor. Now, it barely leaves a line on the tube after bouncing it multiple times. Thank you.

This my friends, is the TRUE beauty of KZbin

[@Phil480]

Thanks for this! Someone had sent me a link to this video to try out as one of my fork seals had started leaking. For now at least, it looks like it’s done the job, saving me £150!

[@roydonthomas]

Saved me twice now. Thanks mate !

[@J4ff3568]

Nice tip. Wish id seen this before shelling out £170 for new seals. My dust seals were cracking tho. Only down side is with usd forks where you could have lost alot of oil without noticing the leak. If you catch it early this is great and way cheeper than a "seal mate"

[@vvalekk]

Thanks so much for this. Totally did the trick. Easy peasy and no more leak.

[@harryovermyer4163]

I tried this on my 81 Suzuki GS650. Had to wipe forks constantly. Not anymore. Thanks for the excellent tip!

[@captainwho5128]

Cheers! Will be doing this soon on an SV

[@hulluhomer2]

Awesome tip! Saved me big bucks on my '99 Honda Hornet

[@ragazzi25]

I did that trick on my Kawasaki ZR7...so far so good! thanks mate.

[@iRidetas]

Brilliant, worked a treat. Thanks mate!

[@chriscs9080]

I used gauge feeler that I have for adjusting valve clearance ... Worked like a charm 🤙

[@Joms7]
