Hi
changed a fork seal, but still leaking. immediate thought I done it wrong.
Pulled apart, no scratches on fork tube or stantion, bush seems ok, seal seems ok.
can i get a check on orientation of seal?
seal: flatter edge with writing and chamfer points up towards the headstock ?
washer: curved face, faces down to wards the wheel?
just need a sanity check.
First thought is seal is not right for bike. oil seems to leak all round the seal not just in one location.
I checked manual but could not see orientation
Thanks
Also: be careful which dust seals you order, i received some that sit in the fork tube making it impossible to remove for cleaning! as there is no lip leverage.
