[QUOTE="Deacon51, post: 723526, member: 18223"] Back in the day people would just tie a bandanna around the fork tub to soak up the oil. Anyway, extend the tubes by putting the bike on the center stand and having someone sit on the rear seat. Rub your hand all around the slider. Make 100% sure that it's free of any nicks or scratches. If it has a nick in it the new seal will go bad quick. I don't have a FJR, but on most bikes you can pull the dust seal and make sure nothing is in there and it's clean. [/QUOTE]
