Well i've been deliberating over the last few weeks should i sell my '03 RSVR and buy a KTM Adventure. Well i decided i can't sell the old Aprilia - still grin from ear to ear when the garage door is opened:biggrin
So went for a spin today as it's now summer got to Matlock Bath stopped for a coffee and noticed oil on the floor at the front of my bike. Frickin fork seal has gone front of bike covered in oil.
So any idea the cost of having one replaced or should i get both done?

Oh, this is after i spent last week removing the tank draining the petrol off removing the fuel pump because i dropped a bolt into the tank whilst fitting my new Oberon fuel cap:puke
 
Overhaul both at the same time, if your mechanically OK then it's something you can do yourself.

If you're not happy doing it yourself then look in MCN, plenty of companies overhaul them.

I think my local bike shop quoted around £200 to overhaul both mine. That was new seals/bushes/dust covers and race oil 5W.

Decided to do them myself and it turned out all I needed to do was change the oil and clean the valves out. Cost me about £25 in oil and about 3 hours work.
 
All booked in, what a top guy Fusebox is. Looking forward to going now :thumbup
