Saul Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I recently changed the fork seals on my Honda CBF600. The right one that was originally leaking has started leaking again. That side was gubbed up with some sort of sealer when I first stripped it. Any way I cleaned it out and put in the new seals and didn’t think any more of it. Well it has started leaking again so I stripped it again and put another new seal in but I found a gouge or pit that I had missed in the fork stantion right in the sealing range so it’s gonna leak again. To the question I am pretty sure I need a replacement fork tube/stantion, is it feasible to replace one fork tube or should I do the pair? Obviously cost is the point but I want to do it only once. The other station seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good move. I had to buy genuine Yamaha from Japan so it wasn't cheap but I had no other options and I like that bike . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best forks on any trail bike I've had (not including enduro's) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago Just to close this up I ordered two new stanchions from Wemoto. Both of the originals were just to rough so grasped the nettle and sorted it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
