At what mileage do fork seals on avg need to be replaced


VFR80025th

Recommended Posts

Is there an avg for fork seal replacement.

Just wondering out loud.

I've got 34,750kms or 21700 miles on my RWB.

Was going to sell it but I have decided to keep it for this riding season.

After the motorcycle show in Toronto I left saying jeez my VFR looks better than most bikes. LOL

I do like Suzuki katana but with a sml tank I just don't know.

VFR has been bullitproof. No issues, especially electrical, nada! Have I been lucky?

Looking to take bike out of storage next week or so.

Ride safe!

Keep it! 
Regarding seals, my 8th at 24k miles started to leaks small amount on the left fork. I hope the sealmate can help but I have a feeling it will need to be replaced sometime soon. The fact 8th gen VFRs dot have a fork seal protector does not help, even though, in anal about keeping forks clean after each ride.

I didn't have to do mine until about 50,000 kilometres. That's when they started to weep but only out of one side. Changed the seals and bushings and rode it until 90,000 kilometres when I sold mine.
