'02 CR125 Husky Fork Seals Leaking

Roche5 · #1 05-26-2005, 10:58 AM

I recently did the film trick for cleaning my leaky seals but I believe too much fluid leaked out. Is there a way to refill (topoff) the forks somehow without disassembling? Leaving this weekend for a day of trial riding and will not have time to disassemble the forks. Only need to get through a day of trail riding... Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what kind of forks you've got but can you just remove the caps on the top and add oil? Where are at in Ohio?

I have been told both yes and no to just removing the caps and adding some oil... going riding on monday and I have no time to disassemble the forks so I'm just going to add some oil through the top caps. The forks are 45MM Marzocchi/Fast By Ferracci. The bike is awsome, but trying to find any maint./service information on it is next to impossible. I am located in the Akron Area (Stow).

You can add oil though the caps, but you will not have any way to know how much oil to add. To temporarily stop it from leaking you can add a little bit of rubbing alchol to the fork oil which will cause the seals to swell.

Often you can add fork oil through the air bleaders if you have a really small funnel or a synrege.

good luck
