Seals of approval!
Leaky fork seals: everyone has suffered these at some point, right? It’s something that can seriously alter the handling (and safety) of a bike, and this is especially true if the bike belongs to a newbie…
The newbie in question is Justin Blackamore, who used to art edit (that means design) this very magazine. He owns this tidy GPZ, and while sorting these conventional forks is not beyond the realms of the home mechanic with a basic toolkit, it is for our Justin, so as a mate, I decided to help sort them for him.
First up, you need info and the equipment. I still swear by a decent service manual such as those from Haynes for info on torque values, oil quantities and quality replacement/service items. We went to) for the parts in this service.
