[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1253872, member: 25896"] If it's still weeping, try the sealmate fix again before doing the replacement. I think you said the bike has less than 40k km, so that seal should still be good. Did you notice any scratches on the fork tube? If you do go ahead with replacement, and since seal replacement basically involves fork dis-assembly, it might be a good time to also replace the bushings. Check with your local shop to find out how much they'd charge for the service, 'cause it's a PITA without the right equipment. (Yeah, I know it can be done with some careful pounding, but it's still a PITA!) Make sure you, (or the shop wrench), smear a bit of fresh fork oil on the inner surface of the new seal prior to assembly. [/QUOTE]
