i have, but im thinking i may have a bent fork tube or something. its the same side that blows each time. i got the forks used off a 750 not sure what they went through before i got them. they never bottom out, what you think?

Re: fork seal issues

if they are inverted replace the lower tube, if not replace the upper tube cause they may be scored from debris and what not

Re: fork seal issues
