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 ??????

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 :-)

what did you ask them to do? generally a garage or dealer isn't going to waste it doing what isn't asked for :smt102
