I let a 300lb friend use my XR650L to take his motorcycle driving test and when I got it back I now have oil running down the fork! What do I have to replace? Thanks for any help.

Hey there Mike, you just have to replace the seals. They are about 10 to 30 dollars depending on the brand you go with. I have used both Moose Racing and Pro Moly with good results. Then all you need to do is have someone press them in for you and you'll be back in business. Last time I had some one do this for me, I was charged $50. This included new oil.

01 XR650L Dave's carb mods,Smog block off, Sorkel removed,UNI filter, Header welds ground, White Bros. E series silencer w/ 12 discs, Clarke 4.7 gal tank,Pirelli MT21's F/R, More mods to come!
