    **Would uneven fork fluid lean my front tire?**

    Well I was going to tackle replacing fork seals but didn't have the tools, took it to local Honda shodp (they have he'd tec who works for $20 less an hour) to get it done.

    Leaky Fork!!!?? Wht do I do???

    No jetlee, I think I've lost too much oil, [confused]:( Kon, I've seen guys take it apart with a rag in top for the last thread or two, it all just springs into the rag. Maybe they had smaller forks or something?

    Leaky Fork!!!?? Wht do I do???

    Ok so I checked out some YouTube videos and the job looks really easy, can make a seal drive from a piece of PVC pipe that is slightly larger, just cut slits in it so it can be tapered. And for spring compressor it looks as if there isn't that much pressure, several people could just push on it...

    Fuel Pump will not prime; Different issues then previous posts; and now starter will not crank.

    Relays? I keep posting this just because it happened to me. Ran great parked it and then it wouldn't fire up but I got different results when I switched them around. $6. At napa auto parts. Good luck... Btw, it's the gray little plugs in the front left box...
