    Hey there guys ,
    I have a '12 fireblade with about 11000 km on it and unfortunately I got a leak of fork fluid on the front right fork so I decided to replace the seals on both sides cos I know they are the ones that are damaged ... Now the issue I'm facing is that the forks are brand new forks and not like the ones on the older fireblades so basically i dont know to disassemble it ... I really need help on how to do so so if any one knows how to do that and a website that i could find the '12service manual your help is much appreciated .

    Thanks
    Razz

    He lives in Saudi, he can afford it!

    Get the Dealer to do it even if it costs you.

    A new set of forks is mega bucks if ya end up scrawping the chrome legs with ya crowbar etc! :eek:

    Thanks man
    I found the exact amount by checking the '12 gsxr1000 since it has the exact same fork as the cbr
    Hopfully it will work out .
