Leaking Fork Seal - Can I fix it with Yoghurt?

A quick job cleaning the fork seal to stop it leaking

Top tip thanks, in nigh on 50 years riding bikes I'd not heard of that solution for cleaning fork seal, just shows you never stop learning. Kind regards

Hi, thanks so much for the video, I am doing a vintage restoration and one fork started to weep before I even got the resto finished, your tip worked fantastic, as I was dreading the thought of pulling the forks apart, so thankyou very very much, you are a

Good Afternoon Adrian, thanks for the yarn this morning at Jerry’s, and nice to meet Wendy too.
The Fork Seal Cleaning Tool is another example of keeping something that “could be handy one day”. Recycling at its finest.

As a new NC750X DCT owner - your videos are so valuable to me! Thank you!

my 2004 sv650 had a leak 2000km after garage fork seals replacement...did that with part of a plastic milk bottle and 10000km later still no leaks. fork seals sometimes get small debries and need a little help to seat again correctly

Very Clever, I subscribed not because of your bike, but because of your ingenuity!

When I rebuilt my forks with cartridge emulators, I ended up doing the silicone lubricant trick instead of replacing the fork seals. I just sprayed it into that cavity and let it sit overnight -- seems to have done a great job restoring the flex in the seals.

What a brilliant simple fix, may not work for every fork seal but well worth trying. I have had two bikes with leaky fork seals and wish I had this fix to try first, might have saved me a lot of money 👍👍👍

You gave me the courage to try this myself. It worked. Thanks.

Thank you for your video sir it’s truly a blessing to us all!

I thought this might be one of those stupid TicTok videos but I recognized your channel name and your voice and I said, let's see what the Aussy has for us today. That's brillaint, mate. This should be standard thing done like every ten thousand miles to all forks or sooner as soon as you see that dirt oil line on the fork pipe. Thanks for the detailed video.

Top tip. Just done this on my NC750X and cured the leak

I wish I knew that trick 40 years ago when I raced moto cross thanks for the education 👍🏻

[johnterry]

Great video thanks for all your tips! 👍

[Checkpat]

I was wondering if a 0% yogourt is the best choice you recommend ?
Thanks for all your video ✌️👍

[BlaserAndDesert]

Thanks mate... I think my 2022 is only about 6000-7000km and the left is leaking just like yours...often the left what i have seen. I have to try this before summer. Best regards from Sweden😊

Had leaking seals on most of my bikes & haven't yet replaced any seals. I make mine from plastic milk bottles - the plastic is quite soft. Always have one in my wallet in case. Somebody else mentioned upside down forks & I agree you're definitely going to lose more oil if you have a seal leak...
