so i pulled my bike up to 12-oclock got scared and it slammed down, and i blew a fork seal, can this be from having to much pressure in the forks?

 

abuse my friend. forks are not built to have 400+lbs slamed down from 5ft high

 

just weld the fork tube to the cyl rod that will save you seals.

 

+1 they will last (mine are leaking, **** they are prob almost out of fluid) just wrap a bandanna around the bottom of the fork and keep at it, get new seals later (not too long tho)

 

um the bottom? my forks arent inverted

 

My buddy's 03 R6 blew the seals, oil sprayed all over his ****, windscreen and all from coming down from wheelies too hard... Just get them fixed and don't slam the bike down so hard.....

 

lol.. sounds about like my ****, bleedin all over the brake discs.. My seals are waay gone, and i dont even give a ****. My **** gets really craazy in the twisties. Its soooo dangerous. My forks are useless. The F2 sits about like she's strapped

 

how many miles are on your bike

worn bushings, bent fork tubes, knicks in fork tubes, and dirt are what blow seals

If your bike has much over 10k, it's probably time for all new bushings

 

my 06 has 28k and everything is good on her

 

16k, but i just bought new forks (bent the other ones) and they only have about 2k on them.

 

knock on wood

My bike at about 16-18k miles the fork bushings were completely worn when I did my fork seals the first time

This time I replaced the bushings like I should have the first time, and so far so good..
