Fork Seal Replacement
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2014 7:40 am
Hello all, I just changed oil, plugs and all filters on my new to me 93 Seca and what a difference. She runs fantastic and I had a chance to drive it around the neighborhood and found it is a very peppy bike.
Now I noticed the left fork seal leaking so it's on to replacing the seals. My question is can I add a longer spacer in with the springs to achieve a stiffer spring?? I know 10w oil will add a little but I'm 6' 2'' at 215lbs. and I notice to front is very squishy for my liking. I plan to change out the rear with a Yamaha Vstar 650 mono for two up riding. Any thoughts??? Thanks and ride safe.
