Ok so after reading your replies, thanks by the way, here goes. I put the cartridge kits and seals in both forks in less than an hour.(over the winter) It cost me $215.00 trackside to have bloody seals replaced. I guess I never thought motorcyclists would bend a fellow rider over like that. Hell I gave a guy i didn't even know a $400.00 set of rearsets after he wrote his name and address down on a freakin shop towel so he could keep on riding. He actually crashed again and paid me within 60 days for the set I gave him. That brothers and sisters is how riders treat each other, not taking advantage of a guy 10 hours from home with a seal leak. Just sayin.

I do all my own Maintenance, but showed up to a track day with badly leaking fork seals and needed them replaced. I had the tools but wanting to throw the guy a bone I had Superbike Suspension do the job. These were freshly redone forks with new cartridge kits, oil, seals installed this spring. What would you fellow riders think is fair to pop out leaky seals, install new ones and fill em up with oil should cost? Maybe I am gettin old, but I thought $ 150 should cover it. Please voice your opinions.

Purolator pure one filter and Amsoil. Can't beat it with a 2 ton stick.

Found it. Best of luck man. Me and my fam as well as all of us at Dayton Childrens wish you a full and speedy recovery.

anyone know how to get to Jeff's carebridge website?

You are fortunate to have had no mishaps. Still it is a bad idea. Most petroleum distilates including motor oil will damage rubber. Tire lube contains ingredients specifically designed for ummmm.... tires and it actually gets sticky as it dries "gluing" the tire to the rim. Drop Dunlop, Michellin, Pirelli, Bridgestone or rubber hoops r us a line and see what they think of your idea. Better lucky than....... To the original author of this thread do what you will, just do it with all of the knowlegde at your disaposal.

Really sounds like a carb issue. Yank 'em off and go through them bottom to top, & pitch that old fuel of you havent already.

Once again I am impressed with the folks at the Mid Ohio School, and all those in attencance of this day. A better bunch a people you'll never find. Hell I barely rode, but I still had a great time wandering about the paddock talking to everyone. I wish everyone well throughout the winter months.

Using drain oil is an all bad idea. Motoroil WILL degrade the rubber, and could cause the rim to spin inside the tire, bad during acceleration, but even worse under braking. Buy commercial trie lube. I went in with 4 others and bought a No Mar tire changer and balancer. I recouped my investment in one year. I change tires for guys from work and thier buddies from time to time and they are glad to pay $20 bucks a wheel.

Ferodo are great pads, but also consider Vesrah pads. They have worked well for me on several bikes and you can usually find 'em relatively cheap.

Welcome

Do yourself a favor and make your way to Parkersburg WV and ride SR 47 west for 63.5 cuuuuurrrvy hilly miles then turn around and ride back. There is a park not to far off the exit with parking for boat (motorcycle) trailers. I would reccomend trailering down in case of a mishap, it's a long way back to pick up a broken bike. The pavement is excellent, except for about 4 miles, we only had to pass 4 cars both ways, and we saw one cop about 300 yds from the trailer. It is 3 hours from Dayton, and worth the drive. I-70 w to I-77 s exit @ SR 47 Parkersburg enjoy.

Welcome
