Blew my fork seals
I guess from coming down too hard i blew one of my fork seals.
its puking oil out of one of the struts..
can i rebuild them? or do i have to take it to a shop?
and im still riding it.. can anything bad happen from riding it like this?

Re: Blew my fork seals
u guna soak up fluid in the pads then the brakes wont work
change them seals
get a manual or a mate to help thats done them before
some might say tie a rag around the fork to soak it up and keep rideing
but depends for how long and where u ride

Take em somewhere and get em fixed unless you have the proper tools and knowledge to do it.
Can anything bad happen? YES, like the other guy sid your brake pads are gonna get soaked in oil along with the rotors, thats bad right?
Eventually the oil is gonna be out of the forks completely if you keep ridin for awhile, thats bad right?
