[QUOTE="ChrstphrM, post: 1456584, member: 97750"] [B]Fork Seal Fix = Seal Mate or Seal Doctor + AT-205 + 20 Minutes[/B] A few days ago, I noticed a Fork Seal leak on my 2014 FJR 1300A. So, when I finished my ride, I did some quick research and found that little plastic [B]Seal Mate[/B] tool that lets you clean between the seal and the fork. I ordered one from Amazon, got it in one day, and used it as per the instructions. Then I dribbled a little [B]AT-205[/B] on the fork seal to assure the fork seal remains soft and supple. Finally, I buttoned things up with the dust seal. So far it looks like this quick inexpensive effort has resolved the leak and I seem to have avoided a $300 to $400 visit to the shop. I will keep a close eye on it and will update the group if anything changes. But, from what I have seen online, this fix can last a very long time. I have taken a few rides since the fix and everything is still working perfectly. The previously leaking fork seal is now as clean as the unaffected one. I might, however, recommend getting the Risk Racing [B]Seal Doctor[/B] instead of the Seal Mate as it looks much easier to use. I'm thinking of getting one to add to my toolkit myself. As for the [B]AT-205,[/B] that stuff has no real match. There are similar products but in my opinion, none are as good. [/QUOTE]
