Hey guys, Looks like my fork seals are leaking a little bit... and I've just noticed some clunking sounds when riding over some rough roads... Would that be related to the leaking seals? I was quoted about $250 to get them replaced... What do you guys think? It's not really something I'd want to do myself just yet as I heard it needs to be done properly otherwise you'd stuff it up.
That price is alright.That clonk noise that you hear is your head set bearins.My left seal has a leek and i need a new head set bearin.Iam goin to do them soon.
Theres a few names for the bearing... i personally call them head stem bearings, but they're also known as head stock bearing, head set bearings & steering bearings. Speaking of which, i've got a new set for my FZR1000 sitting on my desk so i'll see if i can take some photo's and do another 'How-To' when i change them this weekend (also doing my clutch).
You're a champion koma! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
