Fork Seals For An Evo

[pistonbroken]

I need to change the fork seals on my 2010 evo. In the past I have always had them done at the local shop but times are hard and I was thinking of doing them myself instead.

I know my around my tool box reasonably well so I am not a total novice in that respect, its just I have never done fork seals before so if anybody can give me a step by step guide it would be appreciated.

Thanks

This http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/replace_fork_seals/ should give you enough of an idea. Once you have them apart and the outer "scraper" removed you just carefully prise them out.

Try Wane's help on the Sherco website.

The Beta forks are very similar.

Hi Phil

Try this web site the forks on your bike are very similar but go to the main beta web site for the oil quantity and how to measure the air gap in the tube when putting the oil in .

Try cleaning first off with a feeler gauge. My 2007 Rev3 is on the original seals and a clean has always stopped them leaking.

The method is here:

Be sure to pump them up and down quite a few times to settle them after a clean though.
