Hi guy's me back 2006 vmax fork leaking

[jagco1]

I pick up 2006 vmax with low miles very clean all stock, wfie don't no. "O" to I pick up fj1200 to she did find out about this bike though.

Vmax fork oil started leaking and got on the rotors. I did try cleaning them seals with plastic but still leaking.

Is there a easy way of replacing the seals with out pulling the forks apart.

No.

ps - hope you are kidding about the need to keep things from your wife. Life's way too short to have to sneak around hiding m/c's when you should either be putting her on the back seat, or getting her a bike of her own, and riding, riding, riding.

Glad your back, but you have to take them apart to replace the seals.

Very easy job to do following the video instructions.
Unfortunately for me, it seems that the inner tube scratches/nicks are damaging the seals since they start to leak short after.
And, I am struggling to find a solution other than changing the inner pipes ($240/each).
So, make sure your inner pipes are OK.
Good luck!

Are you taping the tops like Sean shows in the video? I did mine with electrical tape, and no issues.

I've already order new seals and bushings, but I think the very little scratches/nicks may be damaging the seals. I can't see any female to the deals, but I see some imperfections in the inner tube. Do you think polishing them before replacing seals and bushing will help?
