[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1430575, member: 19880"] I have a leak in my left fork. Bike has Traxxion setup with AK20 fork cartridges. I will certainly start with trying a Sealmate but if that doesn't fix it, has anyone done seals and bushings on this configuration? I know Traxxion does not use the middle bushing. Any other differences compared to a "standard" seal/bushing replacement? Recommended fork oil for this? I have used Bel-Ray 5W in the past for my '07. I think Traxxion recommends Maxima 125/150 (7 Wt). A little more viscous than the Bel-Ray according to the chart in this link: [URL="https://www.peterverdone.com/archive/lowspeed.htm"]https://www.peterverdone.com/archive/lowspeed.htm[/URL] Special tools? Does the "slide hammer" method work well to separate forks? (Thinking it could be easier without the middle bushing to jam under the top one.) Hope to avoid the full meal deal this time but will likely need it eventually. Bought the bike used but probably 65,000 miles on these forks. I will do fork oil this year, even if I don't have to do seals.(I have FJRed"s excellent post on fork seal/bushing replacement) [URL="https://www.fjr-tips.org/maint/ForkSeal-BushingReplacement.pdf"]https://www.fjr-tips.org/maint/ForkSeal-BushingReplacement.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
