Suspension Forks Leaking

[Guest]

My front suspension forks have just started leaking, I've cleaned around the seals using a bit of old camera film which seems to have slowed ita bit but definitely hasn't stopped it - what am I looking at to fix the problem?

I use the bike everyday for getting to work plus trips out at the weekend so the less down time the better and I'm used to D.I.Y so getting down and dirty is no problem

one days work, youll, need to put the bike on stands to get the front wheel, and forks off, Haynes manual will guide you through it..

you'll need Seals, and fork oil.

Check the stanchions for pitting.

Translation: check the chrome bit , that slides inside , for chips and rust and sharp bits.
