Jewtoys Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Embarrassed to have to post this, but after having four bikes I've never noticed anything like this on the forks. The bike has low miles, it hasn't been over any rough roads. I'm also not out popping wheelies every 30 seconds. The front did lift the other day and I kinda came down hard. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/407270769.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedAce Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Mine drip off my front caliper brackets, and look the same, time to get them sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 On the older bikes the usual culprit was bugs/debris on the tubes cutting up the seals on compression. Fork seals aren't bad to do provided you have a way to keep your front end off the ground, just DON'T cheap out- get OEM or better parts. Ebay special fork seals are mostly junk and doing the job only to have leaky forks BLOWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
