fork seals

Hi

One of the fork seals on my bike was leaking so I had them both changed using Nikone fork seals I purchased.

They were changed a few weeks ago and the fork seal that wasn't originally leaking has been leaking since I got it back.

I'm going to call the garage tomorrow but what if they say it must be a faulty part (which I suppose could be a possibilty)?

Could it be anythinge lse?

The bike has done 18k miles and has had a pretty easy life before I had it. I can't see any scratches or blistering chrome.

I'll speak to the garage tomorrow and see what they say.

I called the garage and they said it could be bushes as there is no reason why it shoudl leak.

They want to have a look at it so I will take it there.

I had my MOT a few days ago and it passed so I don't think it's bushes.

Had genuine Yamaha fork seals fitted and no more leaks. A lesson learnt for me!
