Leaking fork seals after replacement.
 
My right Fork seal was leaking around 2 weeks ago so i took the bike to a reputable mechanic and had the seals changed but since i had it done i am still finding light oily circles around the fork, at first i just though it may be excess oil but its still appearing daily ?

should i ring the guy back up or is this normal for a few weeks ?
the oily substance isnt as thick as it was before i had the work done,

he seems a good guy i will just give him a ring and ask can he have a look this weekend as im a bit concerned that its still leaking.

Its a GSXR 600 K1 front end by the way .

Good morning.


Sometimes the oil used when fitting the new seals can leave oily rings for some considerable time. However I would have thought this would have stopped by now.
Best to let your chap have a look.


Cheers.
