    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    Sort of...eventually the fork oil was no longer "too full", thus it stopped bleeding.

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    Thanks guys, I got some jets and hooked them up to a small clear line, put the jets into the fork lowers, and let out some oil. I might try to make a better set up with a longer, hollowed out M4 bolt, sealed up with clear line and extract all oil, then with a syringe, put back 5 OZ thus...

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    I found that at a 76 only requires 5.2 ounces thus, this may have been my problem all along.

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    Well Winged....no harm in fact the update is very welcome. I wonder if there is a jet with the same threads?

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    Any idea what size the fork side drain screw is? I'm considering draining some more oil and would like to see if there is a screw in hollow tube like a jet, available that I can attach a line and catch can to, vs trying to contain the explosion.

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    After another looksie, puddling was a bit exagerated, oil was present with more on the brake side but not truly puddled. With a sharp pointer, I can spin the retainer ring, which I questioned once before. Do you think I will be able to tell anything if I roll it like Gary said, hit the front...

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    If I recall, these seals were quite snug when installing, is that what you are questioning? Could they be snug but still be undersized, it takes work to them to come out?

    Why is my new fork seal leaking?

    I do have calipers. I have 34MM tubes. I have a new unused seal from the last kit I purchased, it can be spread up to 35MM but that's cause its rubber, resistance really starts starts around 34MM. The small clear wrapping has numbers on it of 35-1042. The d Seal itself has lots of characters...
