SOURCE: how to replace fork dust and oil seals on a kx125

i would do the same as the other post has said, but i would use the old seal to drive the new seal in with a rubber mallet that way you cant damage the fork.

SOURCE: Front fork seal is leaking

Yep, drain the fork oil, raise the front wheel in the air, remove the front wheel and axle. The nut to remove the lower leg is at the bottom, hidden by the axle. If it still leaks after seal replacement your fork tubes and lower leg sliders are worn out. Reassemble and remove the top fork cap. Pour in the correct cc of fork oil and ride.

SOURCE: replacing the front seal- located on the fork.

Get a manual if you are going to take the fork all the way apart as there are alot of pieces inside. If you are just replacing the seal, you will need a way to remove the old seal without damaging the fork. Sometimes a pick or screwdriver will work. Then you will need a tool to drive the new seal in. You can find out what size forks you have, and buy a seal driver for it.

SOURCE: front fork leaking oil from bottom of the seal.

Before you take it to the shop try this.Get some camera film,Cut the notched edge of it and trim the top to an angle of 45 deg..Slide this up into the fork seal and working it up and down,slide it all the way around the seal.When you get the feel of it,you can feel tiny bits of grit.This will clean the grit out 99% of the time.I always keep a piece of film in the toolbox.

SOURCE: Yamaha xj 900 s Front fork oil amount in cm

The forks hold 286ml or 9.67 US OZ of oil, best would be to use hydraulic oil.
Good Luck.

If feels like a pogo stick sometimes and also wants the front end to wash out too and on the front forks i have a oil leak

Your front fork seal are bad and need to be replaced.
When you loose fork oil, your loosing suspension dampening and only riding on the springs.(POGO)

Replace both front fork seals and dust caps, and put same amount of fork fluid in both forks.

I bought my seals and caps for $30 on ebay, and then took my forks off my bike and took them to a shop and they charged me $75 to do the job.

You can take them the whole bike and they will charge $100 - $150 including parts to do the job.

Replacing the front seal- located on the fork.

To replace the fork seal you must open the top of the fork and remove the spring. Then drop the fork tube out of the clamp. Once the fork tube is removed replacing the seal is simply pulling the old one off and putting the new one on. You will need to remove your front wheel.

Steering shakes very bad,from 55mph down to 20mph. slowing down

Yes the leak is causing uneven pressure on the front of the bike! The pressure in the left fork is greater then the right fork and will cause shaking of the front end!
Replacing seals and oil to the right fork will fix the shaking!
Hope this helps!
