Looking at another Wr450 this week but I've been told forks seals need replacing. Not sure if it's worth getting them fully serviced for peace of mind. Anyone had this done and how much would you expect it to cost?

Thank you :)

£100 at my local shop...or do em yourself for about £60 (seals,bushes and oil) think the £100 just covers seals and oil,not bushes)

Easy to do, no special tools required , check you tube for the workarounds... For instance 'seal bullet' (plastic bag) Seal driver ( old seal with a slot cut in it, so it can be removed afterwards)... Sense of achievement ...priceless...

There will be more questions no doubt when the bike is in my possession! Fingers crossed that's all that needs doing! :roll:

I certainly picked the wrong type of bike to find a good reasonaliby priced and well maintained specimen! Next option is ttr250 but even they are like hens teeth! :lol:
