ive have been searching this forum for a DIY on a fork rebuild for my 04 xb12R. i have found some very helpful videos by Dave, but not what i was looking for. does anyone have an instruction as to what i should expect and maybe a list of parts i should collect before i tear them down, as to reduce down time.
i have oils coming out of the front right side and dripping down the fork and dripping off where the axle goes and it splashes on the lower faring in front of the exhaust. when the bike was new this happened so we took it in on warranty and they fixed it, but its doing it again. maybe i need a better seal or oring kit. not really sure. im very mechanical, just never been in a fork before so im looking for some pointers before i start. like "watch out when you take of the second nut as the spring will shoot it all the way across the shop to never be found again" or those helpful things that experience will only teach. also gonna consult my manuals in the mean time.
