[QUOTE="motometal, post: 964226, member: 24727"] first off, if the leaking seal is on the brake side, you'd better get it fixed soon or stop riding until you get it fixed. Otherwise, you will have no front brake. If it's on the opposite side, here's how to add fork oil: put the bike on a good stand or crate. If needed, remove handlebar clamp bolts and move bars out of the way (mark position first with a black marker), careful not to damage cables/brake hose. loosen upper triple clamp pinch bolts. Loosen fork caps all the way. Using tie down or blocks, raise the front end up as far as you can. Insert something into the non-leaking fork to measure level from the top. Add 5 wt cartridge fork oil to leaking side as needed. Make sure you snug up fork caps (not too tight) first, then tighten pinch bolts (the pinch bolts can compress the fork tubes enough to prevent free movement of fork caps). It could be very possible that the seal is dirty, but not ruined. Do a search to find a method to try to clean it. [/QUOTE]
