Choosing Good Quality.Fork seal keeps leaking! My buddy Mike and I
replaced the fork seals on his ’90 CBR600 almost a year ago, though he
has only logged about 600 miles since then. Recently, the fork seals
began leaking again, though it is not apparent where exactly from.
Could the forks be bent?
Could the shocks have bottomed out and damaged the new seals?
Everything looked to be in good condition when we had it apart the first
time, and we were careful to not damage any of the interior surfaces
during reassembly. The only other thing that comes to mind is that we
used a piece of PVC pipe to install the new seals as opposed to the
“official” Honda tool (as recommended by the Clymer manual). I really
don’t think that we could’ve damaged the seals that way though, judging
by how well the pipe fit to the Outer Diameter of the seal.Attractive

Some direction here would be greatly appreciated!
A buddy had a similar problem blowing fork seals on one fork. Turned out
he has a very small scratch on the fork, so small you couldn’t even see
it, but you could feel it if you dragged your fingernail over it. We
buffed it out with some jeweler’s rouge and a felt buff on a die
grinder, and it has been fine for a couple years now.
But if BOTH of his are leaking, chances are you put them in wrong or
damaged them during the install. It seem highly unlikely to me that both
forks are damaged or corroded in such a way as to make both fork seals
start leaking at exactly the same time. Attractive Quality nak oil seals Choosing Good Quality.
