F2 FORK SEAL PROBLEMS

THANKS

I just replaced mine.....twice :-)
Remember to wet sand any dings and rust spots off before installing the new seals, or they will be damaged.
As small as they were on mine, the little imperfections tore my new seals apart, and made them leak again...even on the good side
Whatch this video...it helped me:

It is true but it doesn't work for everything. I can't remember exactly, but I think you can only use ATF to replace 10w fork oil, not 5w. And really you aren't going to save much by going with ATF instead of the fork oil, I'd just buy the fork oil and do it right the first time.
