Athena Wp 48mm front fork oil seals size 48x57.9x11.5

What is the fork oil seal for?
The fork oil seal is a rubber seal designed to prevent oil from leaking out of the fork as the piston moves up and down. In this way, the oil remains inside the fork, guaranteeing the correct lubrication of the moving parts and preventing their premature wear.
In addition, the fork oil seal also has an important function in preventing dust, water and debris from entering the fork, which could cause damage to the piston and cylinder.

It is important to regularly check the condition of the fork oil seal and replace it if necessary, in order to guarantee maximum protection and the best performance for the fork.

If the motorcycle is used frequently in difficult conditions, such as mud, dust or water, the oil seal can wear out more quickly and may need to be replaced more frequently.

Replacing the fork oil seal depends on various factors including the type of use of the motorcycle and environmental conditions, it is advisable to replace the fork oil seal when you notice signs of wear, deformation or loss of seal.

There are many types on the market and at various prices but not all of them have the same quality.
The success of a fork oil seal depends on the quality of the materials used, the precision of the workmanship and the general design. Choosing a reliable oil seal ensures longer life, superior performance and smoothness over lower quality oil seals.
