What should I do if my Yamaha Fork seal is leaking?
Look for any abnormal wear on the bushing. Yamaha fork seals don’t really need a reason to leak, but inspect the fork tube for nicks anyways. If you see or feel a bur on the fork tube, sand it gently with a fine emery cloth or 600-grit sand paper. Don’t overdo it.
When do you need to replace a fork seal?
Each tube requires a seal to keep the oil of the interior of the tube from leaking out. Fork seals should be replaced as soon as leaking oil is noticed. If the seal is left unchanged, the oil could leak onto the brake pads and ruin your motorcycle or you could run out of oil completely and ruin your motorcycle.

How do you tighten a fork seal on a dirt bike?

Make sure that the base bolt is fully bottomed out on the rod before it touches the jam nut. Then, bring the jam nut up to contact the base bolt. Finally, torque the base bolt to the fork tube.
