Fork seals

[salvador0516]

not sure if that's what's wrong with my bike but the fork started to leak oil now so I'm assuming it's the seal. I just want to know the degree of difficulty? think'n of doing it myself.
It's a '99 sv650. any helpful websites?

Its not to bad you need a bike stand to get the front wheel off the ground.
Have you done any thing like this? I would be a repair manual for your bike it will take you threw all the steps.

i'll teach ya and do em for ya for $60, you provide seals & oil.. u need an impact to do it and fork seal driver tool, and possibly fork spring compressor tool..

I hope you are joking.

Salvador if you need any help just let me know. A impact is the easiest way to go if you don't have the specialized tools to hold the fork internals, most shops just use a impact any ways.

What side of town do you live on.
