Changing Fork Seals on my F4i

[bmrider]

At the last TTD's I blew a fork seal on the F4i and now they need to be replaced... (How's that for obvious...)

Rather than bring it into the dealership and have them do it, I'd like to see if someone on here would like to make a few extra $$$ and maybe show me how?

I'm about as mechanical as a rock sometimes and I certainly don't have the required tools...

If someone has the garage, tools and know how, I'll supply beer and pizza and pay them for their time...

Much appreciated!

Oh yea, I'd like to have this done before the next TTD's...

Just take them off and bring it to kates. Its not worth messing with that stuff IMO. Let a professional take them apart, clean everything then put it back together correctly.

+2 on that and since you have some good track time in, you will be very happy come next track day....

Normally, that's what I would do. However, PK gave me a price of about $500 to work on them, and I'm not interested in spending that kind of coin on a bike I'm selling....

I got a price of I think 200-250 from Bay4Motorsports and the tech there is an older guy who knows his shit....U can try them.

500 to take a pair of forks and change the seals and oil? He did mine for 140 over the winter.

Seals are $30 Oil is $10...

Manual is $50.

Tools at Sears... Less than $50

Doing it yourself.... Priceless.

For everything else there is GMD.

Fixed...

That's how much faith I have in my mechanical skills...

Are you still looking for a hand changing fork seals? I could give you a hand next week.

That price is for a revalve. Service, seals and oil is $180 NESR Price.

And damn worth knowing your stuff was done right.

Ahh, that makes sense...

Once I sell the F4i and get my new track bike, I'll definitely spend the extra coin to have you do your magic on the suspension...

I have your card from the last Penguin day, I'll be calling you today to see when I can drop the bike off...

[bmrider]

And damn worth knowing your stuff was done right.

Agreed...

Thanks for the offer, It's much appreciated...

Given the clarification from PK, I'm going to have a professional work on it and make sure it's done right. Not that you aren't, but if I have anything to do with it, somehow, I know it'll get fucked up...
