[QUOTE="Yambone, post: 723487, member: 516"] Some of the old hands here say you can remove little goobers that might crop up inside the fork guard by flossing a strip of film or a business card in there. I don't know if this will fix an actually leaking seal, but you could try it and at least confirm that is where the wetness is coming from. My seal leaked about 45K miles. Beyond my limited scope to fix, so shipped them both to Desert Valley Powersports in Prosser. About $170 for both IIRC. If you're not too leaky, you could ride over there and they'd fix you up. As mentioned earlier, make sure brake pads not contaminated. I think Desert Valley is having a "Tech Day" for FJRs in May exact date pending). It would be well worth it to attend. Maybe they would demo the fix for others to watch?? I've heard some folks did get seals fixxed under warranty, but its hit or miss. Wouldn't hurt to ask them, especially with such low miles. [/QUOTE]
