[QUOTE="Pete Bansen, post: 976353, member: 20737"] I'm losing my mind with the oozing fork seals on my '05. I've tried the Sealmate treatment a number of times - sometimes the leaking stops for a while, sometimes there's a less satisfactory improvement. I have never had a bike before that had this as an ongoing issue - usually the seals would leak (and at WAY higher mileage than on this FJR), you'd replace them and would never have another problem. I just ordered a set of seals and will pull the forks and replace the seals, since the Sealmate thing doesn't seem to be getting it. I can't see why this is necessary (or why it would be necessary to carry a Sealmate with you on trips...) on a low-mileage bike. Do the FJR seals simply suck or what? Pete [/QUOTE]
