Hello, I have a 85 V65 that was lowered by the PO, the seals have beed replaced twice first from ebay, second from honda. I see no major scratches also find per cylmers manual. Do I have a problem with the tubes or too much fluid? The left side seams to have stoped leak and much as the right that still drips badly.
Check the forks for small nicks. Useing a pair of panty hose will find them quickly.
Is the back up ring under the seal? It will leak quite a bit of fluid if it is above the seal.
If you pull the seals off check to make sure the springs are still in the seal.
If you have too much fluid in the forks they will leak also. The left fork (TRAC side) should have 580cc and the right should have 565cc of fluid.
Yep that did the trick, had to buy a cheap pair of panty hose found the very bottom of the tubes to have enough of a ridge to snag no where else. some sand paper and he plastic bag trick seal seal
thanks
