[QUOTE="BugR, post: 755577, member: 648"] 5 min fix. Take some stiff thin plastic strip ( 35 mm film works well) Slide it down the fork upper and push it past the seal Run the film around the fork swiping the seal and then pull it out. Any crud in the seal will come out on the film. I tried this on Monday morning on the Versys just as we were leaving for CFR and it worked. Considering some of the Quebec roads we ran were rough as hell it's got to be worth a try. Chris [/QUOTE]
