I just realized today that my fork seels are blown. Im just curiouse on how many of you are ridin on blown seels? And if you are have you noticed any seriouse probs with stuntin?

 

a friend of mine blew his out....it messed up endos and the fluid gets everywhere (radiator, plastic, brakes) We zip-tied rags on. Then when we took it apart we noticed that one fork was 2-3 mm higher than the other....figured w/ the fork being blown it moved coming down hard from a wheelie. but he did ride for about 2 months with them both blown.

 

yah both of min are blown. thats how i noticed it, by doing (or not doing) stoppies. I was thinkin about tieing rags to it how did that work.

 

how in the heck can i even tell? mine leaks some when i trail it for more than an hour but dont notice any when doing endos.

 

both of mine are blown i rode the whole last year with them like that

im fixing them this winter though

 

Just fix them asap. I let mine go for a while and all the oil f-ed up my rotors. If you let it go too long it will ruin your forks. Just cough up the money and fix them and get new pads and clean the hell out ot your rotors.

 

your brakes pads will get soaked and your endos will suck. Not to mention when you do a stand up the sh*t will blow back on you. Just fix them ASAP :YEAH

 

damn , i guess im gonna have to start watering my money tree.

 

mine have been gone since about august. i used to replace them but got lazy. i zip tied rags to keep it off my rotors. it rides bouncy as hell, and if you aren't ona smooth surface it causes endo's to not hook up and headshake.

i need new forks cause one of mine is bent and the otehr has nicks in it which wears seals out fast.

 

fix asap......will damage inner of forks, brake pads and will hurt your riding performance most of all!

 

yah im probly gonna have to. I just dont wanna fix them and then blow them out again.

 

ya, if you have nice forks, i'd replace them asap. they aren't hard to replace. i've done it many many times on mine. my forks are just junk so i don't screw with it anymore.

 

the **** ****s pads and rotors up, if they get bad eneough the fork will lock up, and wont move at all, another case of a 5 dollar problem turning into a real expensive one, get it fixed asap

 

fork seals suck to get fixed. if you got one thats bad you might as well get them both done while its down. can be expesive to fix if you dont have a hook up....

 

yah i think they said that they wanted 150 $ to do it at my local shop.
