[QUOTE="Denver_FJR, post: 1313531, member: 19217"] I attempted the Seal Mate trick on the FJR at 15k and on the Tenere without success. Since both seals were leaking I didn't even attempt it this time. Talking with the mechanics at my local dealership, they mentioned seeing seals fail, typically around 12k to 20k miles but noting a few exceptions on the high and low ranges. Anecdotally noting folks who ride year round will go through seals a bit quicker. Tubes are in great shape as were the bushings. The bushings surprised me considering I've seen a number or reports about worn bushing with under 25k. [/QUOTE]
