My memory is failing me when it comes to whether there were more than one
My bike is a BMW 650 Dual Sport, and that has worked fine While it is not difficult to use, you should be aware beforehand that it does not seem so simple. I had a hard time getting it past the seal without kinking the thin plastic, and I had a difficult time rotating the fork leg while it was slashed up and down. I had to cut a similar hook on the other end at one point due to kinking, but I kept bending it after that. For the test, be sure to pump the fork vigorously up and down after each complete rotation around the leg of the fork. You should get a decent bounce after each rotation and be sure to put the bike on a center stand so that you are working straight up and down. During my rotation, I needed to go around each leg three or four times before fluid no longer oozed out. It is fragile due to the thinness of the plastic tool used to open the seal, but not because of the thinness of the plastic. I did not break, but I did I recommend you buy two SealMates for starters and work on them when you don't need to rush. If you have two bikes that need it, I suggest you buy two SealMates.

The number of motorcycles I own might be "too many. " I think so, based on my wife's statements. I continue to rebuild the seals on my forks in my small fleet as needed to replace leaking seals Put an end to chores. The idea that "there must be a better way" has gone through my head since I was young. I've seen over time that every seal I've ever removed and replaced looked like it had just been installed. With over 44 years of riding motorcycles, I have accumulated a pretty good number of "new" fork seals. My opinion of this has never been a happy one The thing that always caused me to think "it's something else" is always just what I thought. Yes, it turns out to be the case. I have replaced how many leaky fork seals that were only leaking because a small piece of grit got between the seal and the Retrospectively, they were all pretty awful. The only difference now is that thanks to this remarkable little tool, I can say "never again!". The bike repair tool I bought has already been used on two bikes in less than six hours since I got it Both of them were fixed. This thing existed 44 years ago, but where was it? Ride with your buddies and let them know what you think about them. They will appreciate it if you tell them about it. You will be loved for the rest of your.
It's almost over. Fork seals can be cleaned out of dirt effectively by doing this. He had an issue with a leaking seal on his Suzuki Savage, so he used this tool to scrape out a great deal of debris. As a result, we will have to replace the seals and fix the leak. Thus, the product works as advertised, but I doubt it will go a long way towards fixing your problem unless you're riding a dirtbike or something equivalent. With such a low cost, it was worth a shot. It is small enough to fit in a tool box, and it doesn't take up much room, so I might use.
This type of device needs to be really thin in order to do its job. The downside is that they are very easy to crimp. If you need to get into the situation, go ahead and buy two or three of them. You are not going to make any money ordering more if yours crimps. Since they are so cheap, you don't even have to worry about changing them. My future purchases of these will be in pairs, but I will also buy them singly.
When I had less than 2000 miles on one of my WR250Rs, the fork began to leak. Fork seals were replaced with OEM parts after I ordered This year, I also developed a leak with my other WR250R. When I was thinking of purchasing another set of seals, I thought of trying Seal Mate first. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this fixed my leak and prevented me from harming the forks in the future- I realize that the time will come when the seals will really need to be replaced, but I still want more time to ride. I was able to save some money and more importantly time using Seal Mate.
The dirt that got stuck in my seals was literally removed. Following the instructions included in the package should be enough. As I said before, I'm not going to take away stars from a product review because people wanted to complain that it was too hard or In other words, it's just a thin piece of plastic that's being stuffed into a space where there is not much room. I think it did its job well! You could possibly save money if you just buy it, try it, and see if you like it.
Fork seals on both sides were to be replaced for 400 dollars on both sides, so I made an appointment with the mechanic. This seal mate product can be purchased under 10 bucks by doing a quick Google search. Considering that I am not a huge fan of gimmicks, I thought I would try it for 10 bucks. It worked like a charm, I'm happy to report. As shocked as I was, my biker friend who helped me with this couldn't believe it either. I no longer have to worry about leaking forks since I used this product.
Even more importantly, it saved me precious time and effort here at the end of This is a book I highly recommend!.
This is not a great design for sport bikes, as it is very flimsy. It may be useful for those who participate in off-road activities. For my seal fixer, I prefer the type that wraps around the fork in a full circle. With this one, it can be a bit tricky to maintain position between seal and fork while getting around the entire.
