Replace one or both fork seals?

[John R]

'06 with 11,000 miles. I'm taking it to the dealership today to replace a leaking fork seal on the right side. The left side is fine. Should I have them do both anyways since it's there or is it if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Both!

 

[naughtyG]

always both, I agree

X 3, definitely!

Well, it's unanimous then, I'll have both replaced. Thnaks for the responses. I've got the bike loaded in the back of my pickup in the garage waiting for the rain/drizzle to clear up. I don't want to back that thing down a wet ramp.

Well, I loaded the bike in the truck and took it over to the dealership. They are replacing both sides plus I'm getting new tires front and rear. Funny story though, when I called the Yamaha dealership I asked them if they work on Vmaxs. The service manager said everytime a Vmax owner calls they ask the same question. He couldn't figure out why the owners do that. I asked him if he's ever owned a Vmax and he said no. I told him if he ever owns a Vmax, he'll then understand why.

My dealer owner used to own a Vmax so they know them but they still are a bit pricey. But if I get stuck at least I know they can bail me out in a pinch.
Of course I would first consult with the experianced guys here first to be absolutely sure what I was getting into!:thumbs up:

Yeah, that's BS. Was helping a neighbor get his '80 250 cc single going and the Yami shop wouldn't even change the tires. Said it was too old.
