Fork seals

What are the seals like on a ktm to change?

Never done this before... and have no real idea on what to do, would rather learn how to do them myself than a pay a bike shop. Or is it worth leaving to the experts?

Forks are on a 09 KTM

Any help would be great!

Mine need doing soon but it looks a bit fiddly.rocky mountain got some good videos on YouTube for bike maintenance and there's ones for doing fork seals

Far easier to drop the forks out of the bike and drop them into a shop to do though if u ask me

Be careful with this vid guys he dos'nt mention the fork seal go's a certain way round on WP. With all balls kits it shows you on the back of the packet, if you buy the black stock seals the sping side of the seal faces the top of the fork.

Phone around and get a price from a shop if you have no idea leave well alone!

I've done mine twice now...follow the vids, its not a difficult job...theres a few vids on youtube..keep your laptop with you for reference when taking apart/rebuilding....

moggs my mate does allmy work in a garage in ebbw fella and very reaonible let me know if you want his number

do a bit of research on types, there's a couple of different ones. if you've not already bought em

the Berg ones are supposed to be better quality, less stiction and cheaper, and go straight in.

Dunno what the quality of the all balls ones are like ?

Thanks for the advice lads... I've decided its probs better i dont touch them after watching some of the youtube vids etc... and dropped them into Ray cowles as its close to work. Thanks for the suggestions!

Moggsy boy..you better learn to do them..cos if you keep pulling da wheelies-it will be a regular occurence!! [and spoke replacement ]
watched a pro [mate] do 1 in less than 5mins!! thats take apart/replace/oil fill etc..he had a special peice of metal shaped perfectly to whack them in? O er missus...so i thought EZee...an hour later and a hammer through the garage wall....gave him the dosh and drank a beer!!!

haha... they've been gone for a while... thats why i tend to keep the front up in the air as much as possible

sorted them spokes out buddy, a guy rebuilt the wheel and replaced the spokes for £15, happy days.

The reason they went was because the mousse had turned into dust, and the spokes then pushed through... Not a fan of running moussess.. back to good old tubes!
