[QUOTE="Scout, post: 1102658, member: 14740"] Again, thanks for the learning! I wasn't aware of the role of Air/Oil in the forks. So cleaning the seal is what I'll do for now. I say the bike is riding fine, but to be honest it feels just a little bit strange at times. We have a freeway cloverleaf onramp that is a downhill decreasing radius turn and puts a lot of pressure on the forks as you push through it. I feel the front end sort of vibrating when I go through sharpest part of the turn... not sure if it's the road or my tire or the fact I'm working the forks hard. I jacked up the front of the bike and couldn't feel any loseness in the forks or steering head. My front tire is getting a little bit of scalloping so perhaps it is causing some of it. Donno. He...he... so that's what a rule 10 violation is!!! [/QUOTE]
