FORK SEALS MOTORCYCLES?

HOW OFFEN DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE FORL SEALS MY HONDA SHADOW IS A 2004 THEY ARE NOW LEAKINGFORK SEALS MOTORCYCLES?when they leak, road muck plays hell with them, i put gators over my forks that keeps seals clean %26amp; ok for years,

the divi i have has red ones to mach the paint job, the fazer has black , the paint job is silver, the dream has black as well,

when i was a lad bikes had gators fitted now most people are more bothered about the looks ,FORK SEALS MOTORCYCLES?Usually you only have to change once in a bike's lifetime unless the fork legs are corroded and damaging the seals. The wrong hydraulic fluid can cause this too. If in doubt use automatic transmission fluid but better solution is to check the Haynes/Clymer manual for the correct stuff.FORK SEALS MOTORCYCLES?I have changed mine twice in 13 years and 76000 miles.

I have gaiters on the forks to prevent much and corrosion damaging these seals.



I have a 95 Diversion 900.



Keep the forks clean and they should last quite a while. If you let the forks get dirty or pitted the seals will fail earlierFORK SEALS MOTORCYCLES?They are a wear item that last for a longer or shorter period based on riding conditions.

I put two sets in a Shadow VLX in less than a year because of the condition of the roads in my town.
