i agree with declangaelic, i thought mine were leaking when in done em, went for a ride wiped em with a rag and that was that :) and they were not genuine seals ;) seem to work spot on though, some peeps seem to have problems with non genuine ones though, not sure why this is?

There must be a bad batch of seals out there as i bought the same seals as Parus and had bother too. I use quite a lot of aftermarket stuff and to be fair dont get much bother but after the this i got honda ones job done :D

LP if you are having bother once a year with your seals maybe you should buy the fancy expensive ones with wings on ;)

nah. just reduce how much i use a very bumpy road that screws eats them up!
imagine a tarmac road where the top layer has disappeared in patches...for 5 miles!
i'm not the only one who suffers seals on that road. i know 2 other bikers who commute the same road with bigger/newer bikes who also change seals once a year.
