Replacing your fork seals is an easy enough job if you know a few tricks. The first step to any DIY job is to do a little research and get all the parts you'll need for the job.

When your forks start leaking, it throws your entire suspension setup off. This risks damaging the bike and having the rider become very uncomfortable while riding. Because of this, it's a good idea to avoid riding a bike with leaking fork seals.

If only one of the fork seals is leaking, it can create an imbalance in the front forks' performance and impact handling and steering. Leaked oil can also enter the front brake's caliper and pads, making it difficult to stop the motorcycle. Therefore, you should not ride a motorcycle with leaking fork seals.

When you start to notice oil leaking from the fork seals they are likely cracked. You might also notice that the bike isn't riding as smoothly as it once was. When you notice these problems, you should replace the fork seals.
