My r1 fork seals have started leaking again!! So hopefully will try this quick fix with the seal mate tool by motion pro, it worked last time so hopefully it works again.
Thanks for the video. The fix is somewhat easy, the hard part is knowing if you still have enough oil in the fork if you didn't notice the leak soon enough.
Great video bud! I know it's 2 years old but i just found it. It helped me because other videos don't show what happens after the cleaning. Also it did help me not putting dust seals back. I thought if after the first set of pumping they get contaminated with oil then it might not be fork oil coming through fork seal but dust seal leaving residue. Got a perfect seal after 2 sets of pumping. Thanks again!
You the man! You saved me some$$$. I had to do about 6 sets. Pulled the cap down stuck the tool back in to verify there was still oil in it. Did one more set. Clean!
Good temporary fix , but that oil xx per leg is important . You need between 390-420 per leg and to bleed the inner cartridges . Thanks for sharing the video . It’s a good little tool that 🤘
be wary that those shocks hold a certain amount of shock oil in each one... and there's about a 2.5-3mm tolerance before it detrimentally affects the suspension! the more it leaks, the less the shock dampening... meaning the front end of the bike will just bounce like a pogo stick! make sure to know and understand the fluid levels of the shocks on your bike and check the levels after using this thing!
Just got my bike apart, it leaked so bad it left a legit large oil spot, and is at a solid 150-165 Milliliters low on fluid..... and while was a BIT harsher....it sure aint no pogo stick.
You should wipe it every time you finsh your sets of 10 pumps, your still seeing residual oil from the seal cleaning. Use a clean side of microfiber towel every time
@@azzkam8972 it’s specific for the air gap and oil flow through the damping cartridge . Too little and the damping cartridge in each leg won’t operate properly 👍 406-420cc per leg
You guys are so cheap! Buy new seals, remove forks and remove/replace. Not a difficult jog at all !! New oil while your at it. To press the new seals back in use a 34 or 36mm 1/2Drv socket and tap them in with a hammer. No need for fancy seal drivers. Monkeys can do it, super easy.....

My thoughts too

It's all about the seals, nice work mine needs sorting but may try this first. Thanks big man

Worked for me! Fixed my seals on my Aprilia RS4. Thanks :))
Nice video! Awesome bikes!!

It’s the price you pay for all the wheelies mate 😂good to see videos from you again 👍🏻
True say thanks mate
lasted one year , thats really good
I appreciate this , even if it works or not , I’ll try it before I go ham sandwich and do new seals .
Shit work?
@@jsteez7656 nope haha
Good video, worth a go, cheers.
My fork seal is stuck on my cbr600rr how do I get it off without breaking the seal
Looking forward for more vids
You should wipe it every time you finsh your sets of 10 pumps, your still seeing residual oil from the seal cleaning. Use a clean side of microfiber towel every time
you can use a feeler gauge blade 0.1 mm instead or use old photo film negative or 35mm roll film.
How miles did you done since last time you used this procedure? I mean how long could you go until you need to do this procedure again?
2 Freedom about a year of rough riding 2000 miles approximately! If I cleaned them regularly I’m sure I wouldn’t have to do this too often.
Where did you get the seal mate from?
Thank you so much.
Do not sand the leg or you will be changing seals much more frequently the leg needs to be like a polished surface
pog, thx for the video m8
Thanks for that 👍
Any news on the street fighter??
MrMike not really bro haven’t done anything on it since
I’d probably service the forks. If there’s a leak, then more than likely there are contaminates in the oil.
Good point R1_Rebe1
Loool@ I'm not going to the gym today.....
It freakin worked no way haaa hell yea
Did you check on the oil level? You may have run out of fork oil and the leak isn’t fixed, just dried up.
There's like 300ml of oil in it
@@lenardgor should about 406-420cc per leg buddy 👍😎
The big problem is with street bikes or big scooters you have to take the bike apart to refill the brake lube 😢
is this a permanent fix..? my fork have the same problem..thank you!
It could be if it’s just dirt that caused the leak but not if the seal is damaged.
السلام عليكم
Thank you for sharing
Bismillah!
Whats the name of the tool
Carlos Morales seal mate
@@azzkam8972 thank you
Ohlins USD fork 😁👍
ohlins are overrated
Where do I buy that at?
Amazon. 9 dollars
@@kalebmarcano820 bought one last week, and it worked
@@BadGuyCoffee that's good man. Just ordered one last night. It's kinda a big leak. Kinda nervous it won't work.
@@kalebmarcano820 mine was a bad one, it would leak all over the bike body after every ride so there’s hope for you lol
@@BadGuyCoffee hope so man. I'll let you know how it goes.
The way you cleaned that fork was sus bro 🤣
Don’t keep doing this and run out of oil and think it’s working.
Jeff Dennis yup if you’ve got a half litre of oil dumped on the floor then you may want to start thinking about changing the seals!

Sand the chrome with 400 grit
Try 600 then 800 smoother the better 👍😎
If anything you just made it alot worse
