Fork leak-

[Mark Koontz]

I just put on the '87 fork legs on my '83. But one is leaking oil out the little drain screw. [The bike isn't even off the stands yet!]

 

Are these screws supposed to have any little gasket washers on them?

 

 

Thanks,

I do believe so. If you have not done it, you need to drain the forks and put new oil in. I use 15W fork oil. I also put in 1/2 ounce more than the book calls for and that has stopped any bottoming out.

Yes they should have little rubber rings
