[QUOTE="chrisflock, post: 756264, member: 14107"] Minor update: I cleaned off the forks, drove the bike for a nice 90 mile ride to a dealer, and they were pretty covered in goo again. (The seals, the upper forks, and some dripping down the fork leg). I asked at the dealer, they told me the seals were cheap (no big surprise) and that if I wanted to leave the bike, they'd try to get it in before my trip, and they'd submit a claim to Yamaha for it. They didn't know if it would go through or not. Unfortunately, leaving the bike yesterday wasn't in the cards (no way home, no good way to go get it back either) so I'm going to try my local dealer on Monday. BTW, they said if it wasn't covered, it would be right around 300 for the whole job. Does this sound reasonable? Oh, and I haven't been able to find anything thin enough to fit through the actual seal. The dust seal, no problem... [/QUOTE]
