I have a 2006 FZ6 with a minor leak on the front right fork seal. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial? Thanks!

You may want to try this first, "Seal mate".
It works most of the time (another member used it ((Cloggy)) and it fixed his fork leak):
Fix Leaking Fork Seals With | SealMate.net
Very easy to use and very cheap.
Note, You DON'T have to remove the rubber/plastic fork guards (that protect the fork itself) but will have to gently pry up the dust seal once that cleaned. All this is done with the bike fully assembled. I've also heard 35mm film trimmed correctly will also work but I can't confirm this..
This seems to be a pretty good how to. The few times I've had to replace fork seals on Yamaha's, Harleys or any conventional fork assembly this is basically what you have to do.
Thanks everyone! I mentioned having to replace the seals to my neighbor and he actually gave me a free "Seal Mate" so I will definitely give that a try. I already purchased the new seals (pretty cheap plus I'd like to have them as backup just in case) and might give it a try whenever I have a day completely to myself. Right now I'm caught up in the long unnecessary process of getting my motorcycle license here in California (DMV are a bunch of pricks) but once all that clears out I should have the time to clean up the forks!:thumbup:
