Fork seals replacement for 401

[Alx_Blanco]

Hi guys, this is very weird thig the right suspension fork bleeds oil very frequently (6 months) even when the dealer did the service, on the other hand the left fork (disc side) has never bled a thing. Im in the process of changing seals (again) but I havent found a brand that fit the very rare measurement of the Pilen.. I know SKF bulid very reliable seals but havent found vehicle application table also. Any clue?

A member on this forum (Kkmann) did a spring swap on his 401 and used SKF seals.
Here is a screen shot from his thread….


You can read it if you search fork spring swap whilst in the 401 section. Sorry I do not know how to do links etc.
Hope this helps.

Help a lot, thanx. I'll check, I really think this is an issue of manufacturing, its so weird that only right fork is always leaking in 5 years the left fork has never given any problem. I confess I used the bike for a kind of "Off road" nothing serious -I'm not an expert- and I know the bike was designed to outstand on pave roads and smooth off road. Any way thanks so much
