Not long ago my Hurricane started to mark its spot with a few drops of oil. I originally thought it was a leak from the oil cooler (the oil was very dark and right under where the cooler sits) but a closer inspection revealed a leaking fork seal. Time to pull the front forks...I won't bore you with the details of replacing fork seals. It isn't difficult but is a bit time consuming. I started on a Saturday morning and finished on a Sunday afternoon, but that's only because the shop manual that I have is a generic one that mostly covers the second-gen Hurricanes (SC24). Mine is a first-gen (SC21) and the exploded views are different, which sent me on a wild goose chase looking for parts that didn't exist. I eventually found the correct exploded view online and the forks practically fell together by themselves. If you have the correct documentation, you're reasonably handy, and you can follow a shop manual, you can probably get this done in a single day.My forks had probably never been apart and I suspect that the oil was untouched since my bike left the factory 30+ years ago. As a result, I spent a lot of time cleaning and inspecting parts. I also spend a lot of time making sure everything in the front end was aligned, all threads and threaded holes were cleaned, all the bolts were properly torqued with threadlocker, etc. I also took the time to wash the bike and all of the fairings while everything was apart.All the time spent was worth it. After replacing the seals and the addition of 15W fork oil, the nose of the bike no longer dives to the ground under heavy braking. The front end judders a bit over washboard surfaces so I may switch back to a 10W fork oil to decrease damping a touch, but overall the new seals made a huge difference in how stable the bike feels whenever weight transfers to the front end.This job is doable for the shade-tree mechanic if you have some basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and a floor jack. It's time consuming and messy (especially if your fork oil is as old as mine) but not difficult if you're patient. Take lots of pictures of everything you disassemble because it isn't always easy to remember how cables are routed, the sequence of assembly for internal fork parts, etc.I'm really glad I finally tackled this job. Keeping an old bike on the road takes some work but is rewarding, relatively inexpensive (sometimes), and not particularly difficult (again, sometimes). My Hurricane feels better than it ever did.
