Fork Seals

I noticed tonight that there was a single drop of oil next to my front tyre. I also checked the bottom rebound adjustment and
found where the drop had come from. I also checked the top of the forks behind the headlight and found the forks has oil on it.

I need this sorted before late Jan as I have just booked a ride day at Phillip Island and I want this right.

Can anyone shed any light on how long it takes for a fork service / check / rebuild and costs?

Also, perhaps a place in Melbourne's South East to have this done.

Any other comments welcome.

Cheers all!

Mornington kawasaki would be able to service your suspension.

should take any longer than a few days if they can get you in, easier if you take the forks in seperately. 8)

id recommend tristan as well. got my gsxr done there. although at the same time id like to learn how to do them myself so will do the next lot myself. they seem pretty straight forward , although for USD forks you need a special tool. The tools arent over 100 dollars i recon and the fork seals cost about 240 ish to get done.
