Do you ride wheelies??? If so, refrain from it with the leaky fork seal. You can still ride with it if you have to. My neighbor has his 600RR and it has a left leaky fork seal and he has ridden on it for about 1 year with it leaky. It doesn't leak enough to leave a spot though.

That sucks that you JUST replaced them.

No wheelies with it lowered in the back it stays down pretty good. The only time I have brought it up in the air was on the track I try not to slam down I am hoping its just a bad fork job so I guess I will see tomorrow

Amybody have forks leak down at the bottom of the fork where it connects to the black peice at the bottom of the fork if that makes any sense. And to add my fuel injection is not kicking on every time I flick the kill switch it kicks on???

Talking

Riding with a fork leak is not recommended in dusty condition. You can ride anything if you really need to but what are the consequences? Just ride it good enough until your next change.

Dusty condition, the oil will collect dirt/sand into the seal then acts like sand paper, sanding down your fork surface...the 600rr riding for a year? Good luck on next seal change, if fork won't leak again in a short period of time. Once fork are damage, gotta get another one... don't worry about getting one that match because you may need a set.


Trey...i wanna grow some hair on my chest...can I join NDFC....
LOL...
