Hi all...my '10 SH150i is feeling the effects of time. First the seat stitching went, then the rear tire. Now it's the front forks. The wipers/dust seals are cracking from dry rot and age. I'm betting there's been some fluid loss as the bike is now VERY prone to front end wobble at speeds above 50mph. Have to sit just so, and with my knees bent inward to eliminate it.
Anyone done a fork seal replace and fluid change? If so, what parts are needed from the parts diagrams, and is the Honda oil best, or is there a better alternative? Many thanks in advance....

I haven't done it yet but here an old post that might be of some help, that I discovered by using the Search function:
