I did this by cutting a piece out the side of a thin plastic milk bottle. It worked, seals were good just had crap in them. Still had to do the oil though. it's been a year, I'm still leak free.
Found it. You use the tool to scrape out the dirt/gunk between the seal and the fork. You can do the same thing with a hooked piece of soft plastic like a key tag.
i was told that my right fork seal needed to be replaced when i bought my bike back in december. i don’t really notice any problems still to this day but this is my first bike so maybe i just don’t know what to look for. it definitely leaks oil. is it threatening to my safety to not change it ASAP?
It could leak on ur brakes and make ur brakes not work, also the top comment says uneven oil levels could lead to a tank slapper which is when ur steering goes left to right very violently
