fork seals leaking

Big City NakonSawan so should be a few Big Bike shops there who can do it. Easy Job so just ride around and pick the Best Looking Shop working on Big Bikes. Or ask some Local Farang who they use? Or just shoot either Down to Bangkok or Up to Chiang Mai and get it done during the Ride? Good Luck.
Cheers Ian.

You could try doing it yourself. I got fork seals on E-bay at a reasonable price and did them (Yamaha XJR1200) bit of a prick if you don't have the special tools, but passes the time. I live in Sakon Nakhon so didn't have any choice, I am also Scottish so I resent parting with money.
It is not a difficult or really technical job.
You just need the correct seals and need to know the amount of fluid to put in the forks. A little surfing will get you the correct fluid amount and if all else fails you can phone Red Baron or Mr.T (Thai only) and order the seals yourself and get them fitted locally.
As has been said see if you can spot a place that has any big bikes and see what you think, don't be put off by the disorganization and the crud. Most Thai workshops are like that. If your Thai is limited like mine just point to the seals and wipe some leaking fluid with your fingers aor make so gestures that approximate changing If the guy nods he nods what to do.
This sort of exercise/project is what makes living in a foreign country interesting.
