[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 262526, member: 3460"] Well, today the dealer said they had redone the fork seal and smoothed the surface of the tube with steel wool. Said he "hoped" it would now stay sealed. Not a lot of confidence in their repair by the dealer or me, apparently. He didn't admit they could have allowed gritty contamination into the works during reassembly (I know, that's almost unthinkable, but...), or that the gunk could have gotten into it DUE to a faulty seal install. But, on the other hand, he didn't charge me either for round two, and this was after he thought he had me pretty well bent over. I must have been fairly (calmly) persuasive. However, a free fix won't mean squat if it starts leaking again. He also DID admit fault for a poorly installed stator cover gasket that resulted in a messy leak. So far, so good. The dealer did the right thing and has kept me for a customer...for now. [/QUOTE]
