Replace dust seals when replacing fork seals?
Hi,all I have just had my fork seal's changed at the place I bought my sv from.
I feel a little disappointed as they have reused the old dust covers I cant help thinking that these should have been changed also. My thoughts being if they have let a little grit in and the like this could have been the reason for the seal's to fail in the first place... Am I being a bit dramatic? I don't know if the dust covers are reused or not normally whats your opinion please ?????? |

Re: Fork seal,s
Dust covers can be re-used if they aren't damaged in anyway. Just cleaning them and putting them back on is generally acceptable.
Just check you weren't charged for them

Re: Fork seal,s
what did you ask them to do? generally a garage or dealer isn't going to waste it doing what isn't asked for
