Can I change the seal on a suspension fork myself at home?
Yes, the question is actually above because oil is coming out of mine, but I think it's the seals. Maybe someone can tell me which ones I need?

Hello, I just received an invoice for the 10,000 km service on my 2009 Vespa, and I'm speechless. According to the service plan, a lot of work is done, and the garage charged over €300 in labor costs. The total cost for the whole thing was €450. That's not normal, is it?
How tall do you think you need to be to ride the BMW S1000RR or the Yamaha R7? Do you think you could ride both at 1.60m?
I'm planning on buying a KTM 350 or 300. Can I ride it on the street with the top down and an A license? Will it have 48 hp? Or what's the difference? Or how many kW?
Hey, my right rear turn signal isn't working anymore. It stays on constantly, which tells me the relay must be broken. However, I don't know what the relay is here since I only recently got the bike. Thank you very much for any help.
Hi, I bought the 430 Beta from 2014. It has 53 hp and weighs: dry weight 113 kg; unladen weight (ready to drive) 119 kg. Currently it has 53 hp without throttle What do I do if I want to drive it *legally* with an A2 license? Power-to-weight ratio is important. And what other motorcycles…
A Husqvarna/KTM/GasGas 701/690/700 (A2) or a 125 2T EXC or TM 125 2T open because both have about 43-44 hp, but the exc and tm weigh less But could it be that the 125 2T EXC and TM has 43 hp engine power but maybe 30 hp comes to the rear wheel?
In principle, I would say that you can do this yourself. However, there is a need for some expertise and craftsmanship and you need the appropriate tool.
With the expertise and craftsmanship, I now doubt enough presence. Otherwise you wouldn’t ask which of the parts is the seal, I would say that it should be the 16. There is also a name that will then reveal. Fork-immersing rings are usually present in the set, with which there are usually also other guide/sealing parts.
With tools, you might have a tool box with such a few tools, which would make it possible to disassemble quite a lot. A problem, however, is welcome with the screws under 11. The screws 34 can be turned from outside, but the 11 must be prevented. For this counterholding, one usually needs a special key because the screw heads are very deep.
Alternatively, you could possibly disassemble the fork, but leave the immersion tubes (7) in it (in 5). But then the shimmer rings get out…
You’re right, that’s starting when the fork is dismantled. Then the immersion tubes must be cleaned very carefully. Insect residues are usually the cause of dense fork-immer rings. The dry hard tanks scratch the seal every time they are immersed. At some point, they also harden. Special care is also to be placed when the fork is filled with the fork oil. Both tubes must have exactly the same filling quantity, since otherwise a different immersion behavior would be the result. I already dare to do something, but I left my finger at my bandit 1200 S.
It doesn’t just need the 16, but the whole seal set.
