After having my bike for 15,000 miles i finally blew a fork seal from all the wheelies ive been doing. There are some minor and major gouges in the fork tube/tubes. the fork with the blow seal has deeper gouges but both have severe ware on the forward side of the tubes from the impact of coming down from a wheelie... is that a normal thing and is there any way to set up my the forks to help reduce that issue?

Get it to the authorised service center and let them diagnose and repair it. Mostly they will replace fork oil as well as steering stem bearings inside the forks.

is that expensive?

your fork tubes shouldnt have gouges. that will make the seals leak. stiffen up your forks a little and dont slam it down. that'll make it last longer

i am a motorcycle mechanic but i dont know much about repairing suspension... i had the old timer at work replace me seals and they are good now. what he said and what i figured is that the bikes suspension is not made for coming down from wheelies... i try to be as soft as posible but it is what it is... i gues ill gjust have to have a spare set and there pretty cheep off ebay

and at maxfx7 the stearing stem bearings are in the neck of the bike. one on the upper and lower tripple clamps. no bearings in the forks. we just polised the ttubes and replace seals and oil. no leaks

and at ro100proof. it runs from 100 to 150 to get seals replace if you just bring the forks
