Gonna try it, mine also leak and the fork oil is running down the brake line on to the caliper, disc and brake pads so stoppings compromised. Remember to check for this before you ride and you also might have to top up the fork oil for that particular fork depends how much has escaped. Thanks for uploading, great money saving vid.
I just used it on my 1996 Dyna. Not much noticible dirt came out, but it doesnt take much to cause a leak. Also, the Sealmate can be used to clean the dust seal. Use it the same way (with the dust seal up). Its even easier because you insert tool and rotate the dust seal). Even if not much dirt seems to come out of the actual fork seal, there m8ght be some merit to the idea of unseating the fork seal and reseating it that fixes the leak. Regardless, it works. Im not complaining about the $7.00. Its not about what it cost to make, its about how much it saves you in unnecessary fork seal replacement. That is an expensive job, or a royal pain if you do it yourself. I belive Sealmate when they say almost all fork seal replacement is unnecessary.
Hi man, recently went over a speed hump very fast. I have upright forks. I notived it started leaking noticeably but then it seemed to have sealed itself a bit better. However it still seeps a tiny bit when i compress the forks. I'm trying to use the Sealmate but the seal is extremely snug and I can't manage to fit the Sealmate inside. Could my fork seal have been displaced and not in the correct position thus not allowing me to fit a Sealmate in?
Unequivocally, a used Grom. Buy it right and you can sell it for exactly what you paid for after you're done learning in 2-3 months. Then move on to whatever you want!
You won't know until you completely disassemble the shock absorber and measure the fluid coming out. If such leaks have not been for a long time, it is not very important. By using this method, you can stop the leak early and continue to drive without any problems. If it has been leaking for a long time and still does not stop, it would be best to completely remove the shock absorber and renew the seals. A shock absorber takes 600 ml of oil on average.
When you use seal mate it picks the dirt out however it opens a passage. So once cleaning is done you pump the forks so seal seats properly... the oil will keep coming in minute levels until seat is fully seated. For me it takes 25-30 pumps in 3-4 sets usually

How do you know what the oil level is in the shock ?

Do all of these videos get paid advertise Seal Mate. I had one I used it once and then it broke
Why didn't they put the hook on both ends of the product? DUH!!!
They have an improved one that is exactly that
thats where i bought mine from as well lol
That front brake sure doesn't hold very well..
Lol
Did you just sit on the bike with the jack only on the engine casing? I wouldn't even lift a bike that way. But it's your bike, you do want you want.
12 dollars in England 🙄
You lost me at gloves hahahahahaga
"It does appear that it's not leaking now after throwing the seal mate at it"
"There's still fork oil all over the fork"
So did it work or not ??
