I've gotten 2 quotes around $250! a bit more than I was hoping for. I figure it can't be too complicated to replace seals and put in new oil. Anyone ever done this procedure before?

Bike is 92 CB 750 nighthawk

shit is easy yo, after months of chronic problems on a YZ125 i buddy looked it up and figured that shit out in 15 min. it seriously only takes the most basic of tools(adjustable wrench and jap sockets?) and common sense, do it yourself

Thats what I figured. Thanks

Just did mine a week ago. I had to get a pretty big hex key and it's kind of messy, but the rest is cake.

5/10/2008 10:20:13 AM

where did you get your new seals?

5/10/2008 5:32:06 PM

check bikebandit.com

5/10/2008 7:17:48 PM

yea, they actually didn't have seals for my model. I've seen other sites where it'll add up to about $40 after shipping for a pair of dust and oil seals. seems high for a couple glorified rubber bands.

5/10/2008 7:28:17 PM

you would think they would be more than half off that i mean i think the mold paid for itself after the first set was sold.

5/11/2008 5:02:43 PM

^ do you have any clue what the fuck you are talking about?

5/11/2008 5:20:56 PM

no

5/11/2008 6:07:10 PM

ok SO I found set of seals on ebay for $25. got those ordered. I'm guessing the oil (suspension fluid) is pretty universal. I can get it at advanced auto parts?

5/11/2008 6:19:54 PM

no and no, spend a few fucking dollars to get a good seal so you dont have to do it again, and you need 10w MOTORCYCLE FORK OIL ONLY

5/11/2008 6:22:50 PM

thanks for the help, but whats with the attitude?

5/11/2008 6:31:30 PM

2 minutes of googling would have found the answers...

i dont think you understand how much an injection mold costs...

5/11/2008 10:35:44 PM

and an injection molder

5/11/2008 11:15:46 PM

^ so do I need 10w or 5w?

5/11/2008 11:57:30 PM

Mix them and get 7.5W. Should be good to go.

5/12/2008 12:48:53 AM

10W

5/12/2008 8:01:37 AM

now that's more like what i've been working with... 2000 ton



[Edited on May 12, 2008 at 8:05 AM. Reason : obviouly fork seals would require a much smaller machine]

5/12/2008 8:04:37 AM

This guy's fork is leaking too...

I bought mine from http://flatoutmotorcycles.com/ they are a dealer in Indiana. I think I paid 30ish for seals and dust covers.
