Front fork seals leaking

How in depth is changing my front fork seals. I just had them replaced not to long ago and my left side is leaking fork oil really bad. I want to do it myself to save some $$$$$$ but dont want to get over my head if it's too technical.

Do a search on youtube for fork seals.....there are quite a few good videos. Go with OEM seals....they are worth the extra money.

Why did it fail so soon?
Pick up a service manual. Forks are fairly easy to rebuild,and it depends on what ya need to do to cure the leaking problem.

Thanks for the advice. I have really been doing a lot better with the wheelies. I think the big problem is that the roads where I live are crap. Id love to scrap the stock forks and get a set of ohlins.$$$$ who wouldnt

Its quite easy to do as long as you have the right tools and a little bit of knowledge of they come apart and go together. Its also easy to mess up too
