[QUOTE="Scout, post: 1103027, member: 14740"] Update; I took the bike out for a while today and while the left fork stayed nice and dry, the right fork leaked more oil. Soooo... I didn't have the Sealmate tool yet, so I decided to use 35mm film (yes I'm old enough to have some old negatives sitting around!) Didn't seem like much dirt came out but I went around the oil seal several times and put it back together. Just got back from another ride over some purposely bumpy roads plus a few hard braking stops to drive the forks down hard. And guess what, the right side is now dry! Yay!!![IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/punk.gif[/IMG] I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully I'm good till the next tech meet. Now what did that guy say about suspension upgrades.... ? Hummm...... [/QUOTE]
