Suspension repairs for most bikes
Reliable fork seal replacement, no fuss
Restore Ride Comfort & Suspension Control
Your fork seals play a huge role in your bike’s handling and comfort. When they wear out or start leaking, you lose damping, get less control and risk oil contamination across your brakes or tyres.
Every job is done with the same care we’d give our own bikes—no shortcuts, no guesswork, just solid mechanical work that lasts.
We carefully remove, clean and refit the fork seals, checking all components for wear to ensure smooth performance. We also inspect your fork tubes for scoring or damage and replace fluids where needed to restore full suspension function.
We work with all major fork types and help riders from Broadmeadow to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, and Port Stephens enjoy a smoother, safer ride again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do fork seals do on a motorcycle?
Fork seals are rubber components that sit inside the front suspension forks of a motorcycle. Their main job is to keep the fork oil sealed inside the tubes while preventing dirt, dust and moisture from entering. This oil is crucial for smooth suspension movement and proper damping. If the seals fail, oil can leak out, reducing suspension performance, affecting handling and increasing braking distance. Regular inspection and timely replacement are key to keeping your forks in top condition.
How can I tell if my fork seals are leaking?
Leaking fork seals usually leave visible oil residue on the fork legs or lower fork tubes. You might notice an oily ring around the inner tube or streaks of oil running down. Leaks can also attract dust, causing a build-up of grime. Other signs include poor front suspension response, reduced ride comfort, or even fork oil splashing onto your brake discs—creating a safety hazard. If you suspect a leak, have the seals inspected and replaced as soon as possible.
How often should motorcycle fork seals be replaced?
Fork seals don’t have a set replacement interval—they’re usually replaced only when they start leaking or show signs of wear. However, riders who frequently travel on rough roads or in dusty, muddy conditions may need to replace them more often. Keeping your fork tubes clean, checking the seals regularly and using fork gaiters can help extend their lifespan. On average, seals can last 20,000 to 40,000 kilometres if properly maintained and not exposed to harsh conditions.
